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/ 27°C

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, sunscreen, 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!

STROLL AROUND OLD TOWN

You never know what unexpected treat might be waiting for you in a quiet corner or under an Old World-style 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 flower-filled 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.

The Exchange is a family-friendly hub of food and fun.

Love Fort Collins.

SOAK IT UP! Friendly faces, bursts of flowers, splash parks, painted pianos, holiday lights, inviting alleyways and the hub itself—Old Town Square. Fort Collins has one of the most walkable downtown areas in America. It’s so charming that it inspired Disneyland’s MainStreet USA. We even

have a trolley (celebrating over 100 years of service) that will take you from Old Town to City Park and back during the summer months.

Old Town (locals’ name for the downtown area) is more than just a collection of great shops and eateries, or openair concert venues and plaza spaces, or charming flowers,

play area or tickle some ivories at one of the many painted Pianos About Town. Nearby, on Oak Street Plaza, public art doubles as fountains and shade trees provide a spot to sip coffee or enjoy lunch.

Lodging in Old Town

If you’re a shopper, you’ve arrived in a kind of paradise… boutiques, one-of-kind shops, foodie stuff, souvenirs and on and on. Want to sample 50 kinds of olive oil? Got it. Try on some boutique fashions?

Check. Unique outdoor gear?

Yep. Colorado mountain souvenirs? Endless. Lavender soaps and creams? Yummy.

And most of these shops are locally owned, so you just might be chatting with the proprietor at any time.

Choose from the 4-star Elizabeth Hotel in the heart of Old Town, the newly renovated historic Armstrong Hotel, the Edward’s House B&B, Fernweh Inn & Hostel or Remington Flats—to name a few.

Public spaces Old Town, the city’s historic center, is bursting with public spaces to people (and dog) watch. In Old Town Square, get into the action at a creative

tree-lined streets and amazing public art all around.. It’s a place that contains all of these traits that somehow add up to a feeling that you can’t put your finger on, but it has something to do with the cheerful people who live in and visit Fort Collins.

Fresh air We love to linger outside on patios and rooftops. Check out the Exchange, a great family gathering place for all ages with a common area to enjoy tacos, ice cream, refreshing drinks and more. Relax a moment with the wide-open views on Illegal Pete’s rooftop, or the iconic fountain patio at Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant, locally known as The Rio. Or chill on Old Town Square with a from-scratch-baked-pastry and a handcrafted coffee at Little Bird Bakeshop or stop in at one of the many other spots on the plaza. The choices go on and on, so pick a table and have a seat.

After sundown

@andywophotos

Winter warm-ups Winter brings Santa’s Workshop, a pop-up ice-skating rink and a cozy fire pit to Old Town Square. The surrounding downtown transforms into a wonderland of twinkling lights and horse-drawn buggy rides under a warm blanket.

The shops downtown have extended retail hours through the holiday season and the hot sipping chocolate at Nuance Chocolate is a perfect way to enjoy the seasonally dipping temperatures and beauty of winter in Fort Collins.

Elegant dining, musical performances, theatrical events, foodie and art walks keep Fort Collins bustling even in chilly weather. There is always something to see or experience downtown.

A different energy buzzes here in the evening. Feel the vitality of bon vivants of all types out to see what the night might hold. Grab a bite and a beer and shoot some pool or whack a ping-pong ball at CooperSmith’s Poolside. 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.

Happen upon unexpected alleyway art in Downtown Fort Collins.

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.

Call of the wild 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 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 actionpacked run from Class II familyfriendly 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.

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 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

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!

ROCK CLIMBING 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 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.

Try lift-served inner-tubing.

Beaver Meadows Resort near Red Feather Lakes has 12 tubing runs along with traditional pond skating and groomed crosscountry ski trails.

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

LIVING 5,003 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL is just one of the many reasons world-class athletes choose to train and compete in Fort Colllins.

But the altitude can catch up to you fast, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to acclimate, hydrate and slather on additional sunscreen.

Altitude sickness, dehydration and sunburns will slow you down so avoid them by being altitude aware and taking preventive measures.

PLAY NEARBY  Horsetooth Reservoir is minutes west of town. Boat, rent a standup paddleboard, or swim. Around the reservoir, find crags for rock climbing and trails for walking, running and mountain biking. West of the reservoir find Lory State Park and Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, and to the south, Blue Sky Trail.

The river is up! No lily-dippers on this stretch of the Cache la Poudre River.

 Soapstone Prairie Natural Area and Red Mountain Open Space offer hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails plus views of bison and cultural prehistory artifacts.  Explore the Cache la Poudre Canyon for boating, fishing, hiking, biking and hunting.

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.

@frontrangerideguide Wild flowers grace the Wild & Scenic Cache la Poudre River.

leave no trace — care for colorado principles KNOW BEFORE YOU GO  This land really is your land. Our state and federal agencies manage 42 percent of Colorado’s majestic landscape, and our cities and counties maintain even more. Learn about and respect the spaces we all own, share and sing about.  Stay back from the pack.

Find your way to less-visited and off-peak destinations to minimize down time and maximize your connection with special places.  Bring along reusable water bottles or hot drink tumblers to limit waste and stay hydrated in our dry climate.

STICK TO TRAILS  With 39,000 marked trails and 13,000 designated campsites, there’s no need to venture beyond.

By sticking to these areas and camping at least 200 feet from lakes, rivers and streams, you’re helping natural areas stay natural.  Even though shortcuts

28 | VisitFortCollins.com

can be tempting, please don’t take them. A few extra strides on the path will protect plants and the homes of the true locals.

SHARE OUR TRAILS & PARKS  Chances are you’re not out in nature to people watch, so try out the lesser-known paths and sites.  Silence your cell phone before stepping into nature, and speak softly without using the speaker function.  Be considerate when passing others on the trails and yield to the uphill hiker and biker – they need the momentum.  Listen to nature. Keep your voice and music soft so all can enjoy the peace of Colorado.

LEAVE IT AS YOU FIND IT  Leave plants, rocks and historical items as you find them so others experience the joy of discovery.  Any of our 750 different species of wildflowers will live forever in a photo. Snap away, but only with a camera.

 Colorado is beautiful all on its own. Building structures or campsites on public land isn’t cool. Keep it pristine for everyone to enjoy.  Treat all living things with respect. Carving or hacking plants and trees may kill or disfigure them.

KEEP WILDLIFE WILD  Colorado is home to tens of thousands of furry, scaly and feathered creatures.

To keep them – and you – safe, don’t approach them.  It is not adorable to feed wild animals. You could alter natural behaviors, exposing them to predators or even euthanasia.  Keep your furry buddies leashed when enjoying dog-friendly trails, and pack out their waste. All the way to a trashcan.

TRASH THE TRASH  Pack it in, pack it out. Or pick it up to leave a place better than you found it. Put litter, even crumbs, peels and cores in your nearest waste/ recycling bin.  Wash yourself, your dog or whatever else needs cleaning at least 200 feet from waterways, and use biodegradable soap. A bubble bath is no treat for fish.

BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE  Colorado’s low humidity has perks, but can create dry, dangerous conditions. Keep campfires small and manageableto avoid sparking wildfires.  When putting out a fire, water it until you can handle the embers.

Never let a fire burn unattended.  Use care when smoking in Colorado’s dry climate.  Always put cigarettes out completely, and don’t leave your butts behind.

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 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.

It’s Wild and Scenic up here— Colorado’s only river with that national designation, in fact.

Turn west up Hwy 14 off Hwy 287 at Ted’s Place and follow the designated scenic byway to: • Pick a trail, any trail—Stretch your legs, free your mind and breathe that pine air!

• Mishawaka Inn—Best deck... ever. Grab a bite and a beverage at this idyllic eatery and concert venue.

• Cameron Pass area—Inhale, exhale. Go for a hike.

Check out the Noghu Crags and the Moose Museum on the west side.

Next, head north up the switchbacks on County Road

69 by Rustic toward Red Feather Lakes. Later, head back to town down Red Feather Lakes Road toward Livermore and Hwy 287.

• Shambhala Mountain Center— Follow in the footsteps of the Dalai Lama, who visited here in 2006, to the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya.

Visitors are welcome.

• Red Feather Lakes area—In town, grab an ice cream cone and poke around the shops, then find some mountain fun in Roosevelt National Park.

Take Deadman Road to the Deadman Lookout and see captivating mountain ranges in all directions. @wmorelyphotography

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 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.

Cheers to the Craft of Beer

A GUIDE TO FORT COLLINS’

BEER SCENE

require a reservation. All are fun and interesting. Check the brewery's website for tour details and times or call before you go.

LIVE MUSIC What could be a better way to relax at the end of the day than a cool beer and some local live music? Check the websites to see who might be playing in the intimate setting of your selected brewery’s patio or tap room.

FAMILY FRIENDLY Tours of New Belgium Brewing are best booked well in advance.

PHOTO BY RICHARD HARO

If you want to make this a family affair, many breweries have games and room for the kids. Rally King has games to keep the kiddos busy and

pick one up at one of the many Pace Bike Share stations. Bike culture and beer culture collide at New Belgium Brewery, which sponsors the annual Tour de Fat bike parade and festival and at Equinox where they deliver kegs on a specially designed keg-bike. Try signing up for an adventure on tap with Beer & Bike Tours, www.beerandbiketours.com.

YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU Did you find just the right beer? The one that you want to sip later or that you want your friends at home to try?

Most breweries offer some form of beer-to-go—bottles, cans or growlers. So carry

Raise a glass, smile, taste, repeat WELCOME TO THE CRAFT BEER CAPITAL OF COLORADO! More than twenty breweries have beers for you to sample in taprooms and brewpubs as varied as the award-winning beers they serve. Take in the character of each venue as you settle in with a taster tray. Thumb through the detailed descriptions and choose one that jumps out at you. Try that orange chocolate stout instead of that IPA to see if you might find a new favorite. And the folks behind the counter are always happy to help guide you on your quest.

When that glass first appears in front of you, don’t rush it. Take a moment to admire the color and inhale the rich hop and malt aromas. Now, you’re ready to savor the flavor. Take a sip

and let it linger on your palate.

Cheers to the love of beer!

THE BREWERY EXPERIENCE Drinking craft beers is great, but the experience is even better at the birthplace of the beer itself. Surrounded by friendly people; some days just feel like patio days. Out in the sun, playing some games and grabbing a bite from a food truck or the brewery itself is a true slice of beer culture. Other days invite you to cozy in around a table for a nice chat. You can find it all in Fort Collins breweries and taprooms.

TOURS Do you want to dig in and see how the magic happens?

Most breweries offer tours.

Some are impromptu; others

Intersect Brewing even has a train table and reading nook.

Coopersmith’s has pool and ping pong tables for family fun.

BIKES AND BEER Bikes and beer just go together in Fort Collins. You can find breweries all over town and many are near bikeways and bike paths, so pedaling from one spot to another is easy and fun. If you need a bike,

some out for later. You probably won’t be able to get it anywhere else!

If you’re a self-appointed beer geek, and maybe you or a friend brews beer at home, stop into Hops & Berries to find that special hop or “secret” recipe.

Log onto www. vistifortcollins.com/ breweries for descriptions of local pour houses and links to their websites.

Many breweries with patios also welcome your well-behaved furry friends. So leash them up and bring them along.

FLIGHT PLAN

NAME: This is your first clue as to the taste of the beer and sometimes an inside joke or the inspiration that drove it to be brewed.

DESCRIPTION: Sometimes an origin story, sometimes a letter detailing the subtleties and delights that are about to wash over your palate.

When visiting a brewery many people opt for a beer sampling flight. Breweries will often supply a description sheet for their beer, which allows thirsty visitors to plan their taste journey.

ABV: Alcohol By Volume is a standard percentage measurement of how much alcohol (ethanol) is contained in a volume of liquid (beer).

QUOTE FROM A LOCAL GUY: Not standard to all beer sampling sheets, but informative and succinct, nonetheless.

the brew in front of you Navigating the astounding variety of craft-brew flavors is an adventure! Here are some clues to help you decipher what a beer might taste like.

SPECIAL INGREDIENTS

Special ingredients range in intensity, but there is usually an expectation that the brewer will aim to strike a balance.

FOOD: c hocolate, coffee breakfast cereal FRUIT: r aspberry, peach, cherry, orange SPICES: cinnamon, ginger cumin, cardamom

YEAST

Today’s brewers are using nontraditional yeasts, blending types of yeast and using traditional yeast in nontraditional ways.

COLOR A fair number of beers are named after their color, and you can often make a good guess of a beer’s malt flavor just by knowing its name and seeing it in a glass.

FLAVORS: grainy, bread-like STYLES: blonde ale, helles, Belgian-style

CRAFT CULTURE

Made in Fort Collins FORT COLLINS IS WORLD FAMOUS for its craft beer, but our craftiness doesn’t stop there. We have a long list of local creations from which to choose.

If you have a penchant for caffeine from a bean, Fort Collins offers so many locally roasted ways to espress yourself. The Bean Cycle, Harbingers, Jackie’s Java, The Coffee Registry and Wander Coffee (try their Visit Fort Collins blend) are just a few favorites. For those who like their spot of tea, Happy Lucky’s

Find a list of locally crafted Fort Collins favorites on page 17 or see what Fort Collins has to offer online at: www.visitfortcollins.com.

Tap into your spirited muse at Coppermuse Distillery.

Teahouse (home of a special Visit Fort Collins tea) and the Ku Cha House of Tea serve up a world of flavors in inviting community spaces.

When specialty spirits call your name, you’ll find excellent elixirs at any one of our local distilleries, such as Coppermuse, Elevation 5003, Feisty Spirits, Mobb Mountain, NOCO Distillery, Old Elk and Old Town Distilling. Travelocity didn’t rate Fort Collins No. 7 on its Craft Spirits Tourism Index for nothing.

If you want to “Branch Out,” don’t miss the cider of the same name made at Scrumpy’s Hard Cider and Pub. For a tasty, healthful treat full of probiotics and other good stuff, drink kombucha from Life’s a Buch, Wild and Free and Turtle

Mountain Fermentery where seven rotating taps of the healthy brew are available in their taproom.

If the fruit of the vine calls you, stop into the tasting room at Ten Bears Winery in Laporte.

Or, if you prefer to mix it up, visit Blendings at the Preserve to sample your own bespoke wine blend by the glass, flight, bottle, or growler.

And, of course, no sampling of Fort Collins’ craft creations would be complete without sipping or nibbling chocolate roasted at Nuance Chocolate, right in the heart of downtown. Selected as one of the 10 best bean-tobar craft chocolate makers in the United States by USA Today, their hand-rolled truffles are not to be missed.

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.

64 | 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.

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. Find bird and wildlife guides at the downtown visitor center.

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

o Ruby Throated Hummingbird

o Great Blue Heron o Bald Eagle

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 when critters are most active.
