How’s the weather?

Magnificent! That’s what makes this a perfect yearround destination.

Generally, it’s warm in the summer and sunny with afternoon showers that cool things off. Fall is magical, clear skies and cool, though it can snow in September.

Layers are a must. We have

SUMMER 80°F

days in January that are 30 degrees with snow and the next day 65 with sunshine.

Spring is unpredictable. Rain in the morning and clear skies in the afternoon or the other way around. Who knows? March through May are the wettest months and that can fall as rain or snow.

THE ELEVATION

Colorado boasts over 300 days of sunshine! And in the summer, expect 15 hours of daylight! Bring sunglasses, sun screen, lip balm, caps and a big water bottle. Heat exhaustion and sunburn can happen quickly; so tune in and play it safe.

We’re right at 5,000 feet above sea level and the further you go west the higher you get. Take it slow the first few days. If you feel nauseous or have a bad headache in the mountains, go to lower elevation. And stay hydrated!

TOP DOWNTOWN IN THE COUNTRY

Discover this alleyway on West Mountain Avenue.

STROLL AROUND OLD TOWN You never know what unexpected treat might be waiting for you in a quiet corner or under an Old Worldstyle lamppost down one of the charming alleyways… maybe a cozy tavern or a wall-sized mural featuring local and international artists.

You might find yourself on a flowery patio watching a street performer juggling fire or on a rooftop taking in an orange and red sky as the sun slips behind the foothills of the Rocky Mountains for the evening.

You can’t make a wrong turn.

Wherever you wander, you’ll discover music, art, cuisine and fun at every bend and down every way.

Settle in for an extraordinary evening of music and delight at the refined and innovative, Magic Rat, in The Elizabeth, one of Fort Collins’ newest venues. Named for a character

in the Bruce Springsteen song Jungleland, the Magic Rat serves up craft beer and cocktails. Or, write the lyrics to your own song and drop into the first place that grabs your attention.

Want to stay outside?

Grab a bite from a shipping-container eatery at The Exchange and wander down one of the many bright and artsy alleyways to be charmed by the cobblestones under your feet and the stars over your head.

Patio culture in Fort Collins isn’t just for your two-legged friends. Some businesses welcome well-behaved dog guests with a bowl of water.

MOUNTAIN BIKING We have trails…rocky and technical to smooth and flowy and even some mellow dirt roads in the forest for a family outing.

You’ll find endless terrain at Lory State Park, Horsetooth Mountain Park, the Blue Sky Trail and in the Cache la Poudre Canyon. It’s one big playground!

Whenever I need to clear my brain, a quick drive/ bike ride up there is just perfect.

WELCOME TO OUR BACKYARD PLAYGROUND. Discover a refreshing tonic for mind, body and spirit floating a river, walking a trail, boating on a lake and so much more! More than 40 designated natural areas in and around Fort Collins await you from birdfilled wetlands to soaring peaks in Roosevelt National Forest.

Beginner, expert? It’s all here waiting for you. Looking for a guide or instruction or need some gear? Log onto www.visitftcollins.com to locate guides and outfitters in the area.

WHITEWATER RAFTING Mad dog, Pinball, Pineview Falls…just a few of the rapids you can run on the Cache la Poudre River, Colorado’s

26 | VisitFortCollins.com

Call of the wild only nationally designated Wild & Scenic river. Sign on with a company for a guided rafting trip or rent an inflatable kayak and get ready for an action-packed run from Class II family-friendly bumps to Class IV hold-onto-your-hat waves and drops. Whitewater companies book trips all year long for the season that typically starts in May and runs through August.

WILDLIFE WATCHING Pull out your binoculars and enjoy seeing abundant winged and four-legged creatures.

For myriad birds and big fauna—moose, elk, big horn sheep, and deer—cruise up the Cache la Poudre Canyon.

Explore Laramie River Road

or pop over to the other side of Cameron Pass and visit the State Park Moose Visitor Center. And never forget, these are wild animals—not pets, not zoo critters—so don’t approach or feed them and, absolutely, no selfies with them!

HIKING AND TRAIL RUNNING

It’s magic all year round here.

For quick access, pop up to the trails around Horsetooth Reservoir. Have a little more time? Head up Cache la Poudre River Canyon. And for the big day, hit the high trails in Rocky Mountain National Park.

FLY-FISHING Fish miles of streams, creeks and high-mountain lakes until you run out of tippet. Guides at Liarflies can help you learn to wet a fly, too. Stop in to the renowned St. Peter’s Fly Shop for supplies, advice and guiding. Check out the Blue Ribbon water on the Cache la Poudre River and the high lakes farther up.

Chalk your hands and ease up the sandstone on the east side of Horsetooth Reservoir. Check out the world-class bouldering at Rotary Park and Piano Boulders or grab a rope for some bolted-anchor, top-rope climbing at Duncan’s Ridge.

Ready for bigger stuff? Head up to Lumpy Ridge or even the high peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park.

WINTER ACTIVITIES Many of our outdoor staples serve double duty as temperatures drop. Hiking trails become snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing routes during the winter.

Sheldon Lake at City Park shifts from a paddle boat paradise to a crunchy, silvery landscape of ice fishing, skating and hockey.

Looking for a more one on

one experience with nature?

Zip on up to snow country near Cameron Pass and around Red Feather Lakes for a spectacular winter adventure.

Choose a rolling trail or venture up above tree line for some backcountry bowls. You can even ski or snowshoe into a yurt for a night or two.

You have to try this: liftserved inner-tubing. Beaver Meadows Resort near Red Feather Lakes has 12 tubing runs along with traditional pond skating and groomed cross-country ski trails.

Winter activities abound in Fort Collins, making it a welcoming, four-season destination for all adventurers.

zen

and the art of

visiting Conservation isn’ t just the business of a few people.

It’s a matter that concerns all of us.

— Walt Disney

I, [state your name], do promise to have an incredible time while visiting Fort Collins and to get the most out of my visit whatever that might mean to me. While in Fort Collins, I will conduct myself in such a way as to not bring harm to myself, others or the environment. I will do my best to follow these guidelines: I will take only pictures and leave only footprints because it would be odd the other way around. I will avoid risking life and limb for more Likes.

I will share the road or trail with bicycles, horses, wildlife and the occasional wandering Instagrammer.

I will respect wildlife for my own safety and the health of

the animals: no selfies with them, no chasing them and no approaching any animals in the wild.

I will slather on sunscreen everywhere whether I’m in snow, on a lake, a summit or just sipping beer on a patio.

I will know what condition the conditions are in regarding: weather, roads and trails.

I will drink water like a camel in the desert. I will drink that water from a reusable container because I love the Earth.

I will monitor my health and the health of my companions for evidence of altitude sickness, which might present as flulike symptoms.

I will follow the leave-notrace principles while in the great outdoors. I will plan and prepare. I will dispose of waste properly, meaning pack it out. I will be smart about any use of fire.

I will do my best to respect the power of rivers and the hazards associated with any body of water. I will be safe.

I will not invent my own parking space nor will I lose my mind trying to find an existing one. I will have a plan B.

CAMPING & PICNICKING Brats sizzling on the grill, the river bubbling 20 feet away, the kids tossing lures into that big hole behind a rock, and the sweet pine air… it just doesn’t get any better. Find a campsite or picnic spot as close as Horsetooth Reservoir or head out for a casual adventure up Cache la Poudre River Canyon or near Red Feather Lakes. Camping options range from primitive, hike-in sites to full hookup, RV-ready pads.

Choose from public and private campgrounds.

NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY Focus your lens on world-class landscapes from a variety of ecozones under spectacular skies. Zoom in on moose grazing in lush meadows or capture that perfect sunset over snow-capped mountains. Expose yourself to a quiet creek or a roaring river. For ideas check out the many User posts at www.visitftcollins.com.

BEFORE YOU FIRE IT UP:

Wildfires are a very real threat in Fort Collins.

Before starting your campfire be sure you are in an area that allows campfires. Have an extinguishing plan for your fire and never leave a campfire burning unattended.

I will leave what I find unless it is a lost puppy. I will be considerate of other visitors so we all have an extraordinary experience. I will leave where I visit better than I found it.

Drive up Hwy 34 west of Loveland into Rocky Mountain National Park then up and over Trail Ridge Road (open summer to early fall) to Granby. Head north on Hwy 125 to Walden and then turn east on Hwy 14 over Cameron Pass and down the Cache la Poudre Canyon.

Can be done in reverse.

Cell phone service can be spotty to downright nonexistent in the canyons. Try loading a map of the area on your phone or tablet and then follow the blue dot. Or visit one of our visitor centers for a paper map and directions.

Get out and stay out 30 | VisitFortCollins.com

Check your gas tank before you head up the Cache la Poudre Canyon. You can top off at Ted’s Place where Hwy 14 leaves Hwy 287. Options are few and far between after that.

PEOPLE LIKE TO GET OUTDOORS HERE all year round. It’s a lifestyle thing. In town, enjoy a stroll around a lake or play in the river at the new water park, set to open summer of 2019, near College Avenue and Vine Drive. Take the kids to a splash park to cool down. And your four-legged friend is welcome at many places, too.

Make Fort Collins your base camp. You’ll find adventure and solitude at the many open spaces, natural areas and parks. So get out and stay out…doors, that is. Discover your place in the sun. You’ll just feel better.

No matter what time of year, be prepared for abrupt changes in the weather.

Sunshine can turn to afternoon rain and wind, or snow. Pack layers of clothing that you can put on and remove as needed.

A rain shell is always a good idea as is a billed cap, sunglasses and sunscreen.

EVERYONE GETS TO PLAY One of the most popular playgrounds in town is at Spring Canyon Park on the west end of Horsetooth Road. Inspiration Playground is made to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers and support braces encouraging kids of all abilities to play and interact.

SO DOG-FRIENDLY

Via Visit Fort Collins social media channels

Fort Collins is a dog town. If you brought yours, here are a few things you should know. First, the leash law is in effect and enforced. Second, you’ll see bags available for waste pick up. And finally, let Rover rove at one of the three dog parks in town: Fossil Creek (south end), Spring Canyon (midtown), and Soft Gold (north end). And check the signs. Some trails prohibit dogs all together, some require Rover to be on a leash, and others are fine places to let her run wild and free.

Play a round of golf—swing those sticks on three city courses… open almost year ‘round. fcgov.com/golf.

All live, all the time MUSIC IS WOVEN INTO THE fabric of Fort Collins. You’ll find live music everywhere and of every conceivable genre. Our streets are filled with pianos painted by local artists!

Local musicians are

the heart of our scene; their creativity, spirit and commitment to our community is unparalleled. Pound-forpound, Fort Collins is one of the most vibrant music cities in the country.

DAY AND NIGHT Begin your evening at The Armory for a 7pm show in one of the best listening rooms in Colorado. Ramp things up with local music at Hodi’s Half Note or the Aggie.

Have a jazz nightcap at Ace Gillette’s or the Sunset Lounge.

On day two add in a brunch jam with Bloodies and Beats at the Downtown Artery, listen to KRFC’s Live at Lunch, and then catch a happy hour set at a brewery such as Equinox or New Belgium.

Take in a free concert most days in summer.

GET IN ON THE ACT

In Fort Collins, we like playing music as much as we like listening to it. While you’re here, serenade shoppers in Old Town Square on one the pianos or drop into the Music District or Higher Ground Studios to rent a fully equipped practice room and write the next great song.

Where art lives A VIBRANT AND DYNAMIC arts community thrives in Fort Collins where town and surrounding landscapes inspire artists living and working here.

Not content to be a passive player, the city itself becomes a canvas through public art projects, which turn utilities boxes into murals, alleys into

installations and water into the music of children playing.

Come see why the historic area of town has been officially certified as The Downtown Fort Collins Creative District by the State of Colorado.

Food trucks everywhere Sometimes it seems that this town could be called Fort Food Truck with more than 70 trucks and carts to choose from. If you can think of it, someone is probably making it right now.

52 | VisitFortCollins.com

Check www.visitftcollins.com for a listing of trucks and carts.

Combine bikes, breweries, food trucks, a little local music and you have a culture that says slow down and enjoy your

day. And that’s sweet because a lot of the time you can bellyup to a food cart at the brewery you’re visiting.

The whole enchilada comes together at a couple of weekly food truck rallies

from mid-May through September. Swing by City Park on Tuesdays after 5:30pm and Fossil Creek Park on Thursday evenings for some tasty treats and live music. www.focofoodtruckrally.com.

Otter Shop

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE an “otterly” good time when you visit Fort Collins, stop in to the Otter Shop, the world’s oneand-only OtterBox retail store, located in downtown Fort Collins. It’s a place to play, relax and experience the latest, innovative OtterBox and Lifeproof products, some of which are only available at the Shop.

“Loyal customers visit the store to connect with the products they love and share their OtterBox stories,” says Matt Worley, Otter Shop manager. “A lot of people have fun shopping at the store and gearing up for their local adventures with new coolers, dry bags and backpacks.

And many tourists stop in, take a photo and create a personalized phone case to keep as a memento of their trip.”

OUR COMMUNITY

It may be that you’re visiting Fort Collins for the cutting-edge, comprehensive health care that we are fortunate to have thriving here. The largest provider is UCHealth, which operates Poudre Valley Hospital, Medical Center of the Rockies and many associated clinics. Banner Health operates the Fort Collins Medical Center in the southeast corner of town and also several outpatient clinics. Kaiser Permanente is expanding in the area with a medical office in the south end of town and one coming soon to the north side.

I spy with my little eye

WITH A LITTLE LUCK AND a keen eye, you’ll spot some of this region’s endemic species. For the big ones, head up the Cache la Poudre Canyon or to Rocky Mountain National Park. Look for all these and others at our local natural areas, open spaces and public lands.

HABITATS Natural areas in and around Fort Collins support abundant wildlife.

Grasslands, riverways and lakes, forested mountain areas, and arid habitats each support populations unique to that particular environment.

If you’re here to see critters and birds, check out several areas.

SAFETY FOR YOU AND THE WILDLIFE Wild animals are, well, wild and unpredictable and can be dangerous.

Forget the selfie with the moose or the prairie dog. It’s stressful for them and could get you injured. While driving, be alert, especially at dawn and dusk
