Only the most beautiful roads are selected as Scenic Byways, and Colorado Highway 14 from Fort Collins to the town of Walden in North Park is truly deserving.
The beautiful Poudre Canyon, the Poudre River, vast forests and high peaks mark this route. keep an eye out for Bighorn sheep.
About 50 miles up the canyon, the road drops over 10,000 foot Cameron Pass into the vast North Park Valley - you will want to stop a moment and admire Nokhu Crags.
This beautiful high ranch country is filled with cattle, wildlife, rivers, lakes and wilderness. Check the status of the area’s moose viewing at the State’s Moose Visitor Center, just 4 miles west of Cameron Pass on your left.
Don’t forget your camera!

Located in the foothills west of Fort Collins at an elevation of 5,430 feet, Horsetooth Reservoir is 1,900 acres of water surrounded by 2,000 acres of public land.
It is popular for fishing, boating, water-skiing, and camping. This 6.5-mile reservoir is open year round and is a part of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project ..
The purpose of this water project is to divert water from the west slope to the east slope for drinking water, irrigation, and hydropower generation.
its a great drive when you want to get away from the city...
Park Entrance Permits and Camping Fees are required.

Old Town is a great collection of early 20th Century architecture. Now it is an interesting shopping experience, with pubs and restaurants along the way.
One of the attached photos shows a 3rd floor bay window. It is attached to the Linden Hotel. After World War II ended, my parents brought me back to their home town, Ft. Collins. I was about 18 months old. My fathers parents owned the Linden Hotel, and so we stayed there for a year or two until we found a house. Leave a Comment Directions: WHERE MOUNTAIN AVENUE AND COLLEGE MEET, a street called "Linden" jags off at an angle to the northeast. Thats where Old Town is, along Linden Street.

CSU was home from 1985 to 1991
Colorado State University was founded in 1870 as the state's only land grant institution.
CSU has over 24,000 students that come from all 50 states and nearly 100 countries, I was one of them
There is a bookstore, where you can buy all stuff related to the college, pencil, stationary,etc..
Also a cafetiria which serves to everyone not only students, try the mexican burrito, is just great....

Those who know Colorado are familiar with "Fat Tire" beer. And Fat Tire is the creation of this wonderful brewery (Ft. Collins' pride and joy). They offer a tour, call (888) NBB-4044 for information (or check out the website). Or, you can take a self guided tour between 10-6 most days of the week (except Sunday). Once you have seen some of the brewing process, stop by the tasting room. There, you will get a sampling tray of the many beers the brewery creates. As a warning, at last visit, the tasting tray was equal to about 2 pints of beer - have a designated driver or be prepared to stroll around Old Town for a little while. Tour and tasting are free!

Everybody who's lived in or visited Ft. Collins has seen Horsetooth Rock.
It is a very prominent landmark visible from anywhere in the Ft. Collins area. Although its resemblance to a horse's tooth is dubious, everyone knows it by that name.
It towers 7,300 ft only a couple of miles from the edge of town, just beyond the reservoir which bears the same name. Up until 1982, it was private property owned by the Soderburg family, but became one of the the first "open space" tax acquisitions of Larimer county...

Horseback riding for all ages, hiking, scenery, the laid back beauty of Colorado's magnificent Rocky Mountains, the softly swaying alpine meadows, small, crystal creeks making their way sans effort to the valley below. I love Colorado!!!!! Leave a Comment
