Amazing Things to do in Fort Collins, Colorado

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

7

From Old Town to craft beer to ghosts to football to hiking to scenic drives to the Rocky Mountains, here's all the best things to do in Fort Collins.

1) Explore Old Town

Old Town Fort Collins is one of the prettiest and best-preserved downtowns you'll find anywhere in the country, with wide European style walkways strung with lights and surrounded by charming facades.

2) Brewery Hop

Fort Collins is home to and well known for its many breweries. From big names such as New Belgium, to smaller local breweries like Zwei Brewing Co, there's a brewery here - or nearby - for every palate.

3) Visit Horsetooth Mountain & Reservoir

When visiting Fort Collins, look West, and if you see a huge rock (basically the top of the mountain) that looks like a horse’s tooth, that’s it!

4) Go on an Outdoor Adventure

Poudre River Trail is a 21-mile long paved trail that meanders along the Cache la Poudre (pronounced pooh-der) River and through several large parks and wildlife areas.

5) Take a Scenic Drive

If you do drive the full route from Fort Collins to Walden, allow 3 hours each way and give yourself plenty of time to return before dark.

6) Eat Pizza

After a long day of hiking and outdoor adventure, hit the town for some delicious food.

7) Play Vintage Arcade Games

Pinball Jones is one of my favorite date spots in Fort Collins. It’s an arcade and a bar. How much better can that get?
