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.

Step out of the city life by going to Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area and Coyote Ridge Natural Area. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Pineridge Natural Area and Reservoir Ridge Natural Area. Venture out of the city with trips to Deadman Lookout (in Red Feather Lakes) and Old Fall River Road (in Rocky Mountain National Park). And it doesn't end there: immerse yourself in nature at Lory State Park, contemplate the waterfront views at Horsetooth Reservoir, tour the pleasant surroundings at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, and tee off at Collindale Golf Course.
