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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Sky Pond and Chapel on the Rock. Escape the urban bustle at Trail Ridge Road and Flattop Mountain Trail. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Fort Collins: Rocky Mountain National Park (North Inlet Trail, Deer Mountain, &more) and Glen Haven General Store (in Glen Haven). There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Totally 80's Pizza & Museum, identify plant and animal life at Coyote Ridge Natural Area, ride a horse along Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area, and indulge your thirst for a good beer at New Belgium Brewing Company.
