Fort Collins Travel Tips
-
Stay in or near Old Town so you can walk to restaurants, coffee shops, and bars.
-
Build in time for a sunset stop at Horsetooth Reservoir or Horsetooth Rock overlook.
-
Reserve at least one afternoon for brewery hopping; many spots are bike- or walk-friendly.
-
Use the city’s extensive bike paths to get around when the weather is nice.
-
Pack layers: even in summer, evenings can be breezy and thunderstorms roll in fast.
-
Drink plenty of water and go easy your first day if you’re not used to the elevation.
-
Plan a day trip to Poudre Canyon, Estes Park, or Rocky Mountain National Park for hiking and views.
Things I believe at a cellular level:
- Most people want to do well (even if they’re messy about it)
- Consistency beats intensity
- Nature fixes almost everything
- Time with my family
- Deep convos with my friends
- Hiking
- Lake Tahoe
- A book I cannot put down
- A good glass of Cabernet Franc
- Having a trip on the calendar to look forward to
