8 days in Fort Collins Itinerary

Called vibrant, eclectic and authentic, Fort Collins tops “best of” lists year after year thanks to its myriad of cultural opportunities.

Venture out of the city with trips to Watson Lake State Wildlife Area (in Bellvue), Deadman Lookout (in Red Feather Lakes) and Rocky Mountain National Park (Sky Pond, Bear Lake, &more). There's still lots to do: sample the tasty concoctions at New Belgium Brewing Company, stroll around Spring Canyon Community Park, hike along Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, and get thoroughly spooked out with a ghost and vampire tour.

If you are flying in from Pakistan, the closest major aiport is Denver International Airport. In April, plan for daily highs up to 18°C, and evening lows to 0°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 22nd (Wed) early enough to travel back home.
