25,000 college students, some cool...some out of control
In a nutshell
A better place to live in than travel to
PinkFloydActuary Says: There are tons of micro-breweries in Colorado, including a number in Ft. Collins. And of course, folks are aware Coors is from Colorado. But Ft. Collins is also home to an AB brewery. They do offer tours (usually between 10:00-4:00). The tour begins with a trip to the...
Hiking: Horsetooth Falls Trail
HasTowelWillTravel Says: The trail to Horsetooth Falls is within the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, a regional park near Ft. Collins. From the trailhead, head up the right fork and keep heading northeast. It is rocky at points, narrow, as you climb into the canyon. Watch for a spur of the trail,...
HasTowelWillTravel Says: This small installation, found in an old bank building downtown, houses the Fort Collins Museum of Art. As the town is a little small to support a permanent collection of art, instead the museum is dedicated to one or two temporary exhibits at a time. They are usually...

Five Guys Burgers and Fries: All-American food
xoxoxenophile Says: I know Five Guys is a fairly common chain, but most of us had never eaten at one before. It had a very all-American feel to it, and the food was good, although maybe a little pricey for what you're getting. They have free peanuts that you can scoop up while you're standing...
xoxoxenophile Says: We met with the Colorado State University IEEE student group so we could share student-to-student information and tour their facilities. They ordered this pizza for us, and it was very good, and very cheap. We tried all of the basic toppings--cheese, pepperoni, sausage, etc....
Fiona's Deli - Harmony & Lemay: Best Sandwiches and Catering in the Fort!
CORealtor Says: Clean - creative - classy! What more could you want from a restaurant/deli or caterer. Fiona's Deli has it all, in combinations you wouldn't have expected. My personal favorite is listed below, but I venture away from that one at times because the house-smoked salmon is...
PinkFloydActuary Says: Yes, I have several pizza tips on my Ft. Collins page (What did you eat when you were in college?) Old Chicago is a chain that is most prevalent throughout the central US. There are two locations in Ft. Collins, I've only been to the one in Old Town. There's a livelier crowd...
Avogadro's Number Restaurant: Local Music, Family Atmosphere
HasTowelWillTravel Says: Avogadro's is a rather large place near downtown. It has three main places to sit: in the front, in front of the indoor stage, or outdoors, which also has a stage. The fare of Avogadro's is down-home American, with burgers, salads, and pizza. There is often local music out...
Washington's Sports Bar & Grill: Funky Washington's
HasTowelWillTravel Says: Washington's has been around Fort Collins since the late 70s, and is still an eclectic place to eat or enjoy an evening on the town. The whole place is filled with various pieces tacked to the wall, and there are many nooks filled with tables and booths, giving it an...
Wild Boar Coffee: Brighten Up Your Morning
HasTowelWillTravel Says: Wild Boar Coffee is a charming little coffeehouse just off of campus. It appears to be a converted home, lovely bungalow style building. It has a lot of charm, and the folks behind the counter can make some mean cups of coffee, as well as an eclectic selection of soups and...

New Belgium Liquid Center: Start the Night Here
HasTowelWillTravel Says: The New Belgium Brewery's Liquid Center is a happenin' spot. It is not open very late (Tuesday-Saturday till 6pm), but it serves as an opening spot. The drinking is free, small tasting pours. Go for the atmosphere; it is a lively place, with lots of people of all ages. Not a...
the need for a designate driver
richiecdisc Says: Fort Collins is in the north central part of Colorado, 60 miles or an hour north of Denver. We were driving from Cheyenne in Wyoming which was about 45 miles or an hour drive. We only did the tour and then drove to Rocky Mountain National Park which was about was a similar...
Old Town: Great nightlife, restaurants, and unique shops!
xoxoxenophile Says: The Old Town is the original downtown area of Fort Collins. It's a really interesting area to walk around, because there's some really nice architecture on the late 1800s buildings there, some quirky modern sculptures, tons of restaurants and bars, lots of artisan, foreign...
Old Downtown Shopping: Promenade of Shops
HasTowelWillTravel Says: The downtown area of Fort Collins has a terrific collection of places to explore. In addition to the restaurants, of which you can find many, there is also a wide variety of shopping options. Many locally-owned stores, covering things from toys to bikes to used clothing....
linnielou327 Says: The key to dressing in Colorado regardless of the time of year is to LAYER. The weather can change in an instant, the motto is "if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes it will change!" If you are visiting in the Summer, be sure to have bug spray or more...
Rich62 Says: Its not far off the beaten path, in fact you can see some of the dams which hold back the waters of the reservoir, from Fort Collins. The roads along the sides of Horsetooth are paved. The reservoir is not a small one; its about seven miles long, although fairly narrow.
HasTowelWillTravel Says: A daytrip down to Denver would is a perfect opportunity to visit the Denver Zoo. This zoo has been around for nearly a hundred years, yet is constantly being updated. Bear Mountain was crafted in 1918, and was the first zoo enclosure in the US to try and approximate natural...
richiecdisc Says: Our tour time came up more quickly then I expected and soon we were being whisked off to the kettles and I lamented leaving our fun bartenders behind but my fears were soon allayed when our tour guide turned out to be equally entertaining. He kept us moving and his banter...
the world could use more of these people
richiecdisc Says: And what tasters they were: four good sized beers served in goblets, probably around 6 ounces each and many beers to choose from. My wife, who evidently had majored in negotiations failed to push me to drive the rest of the trip to the national park and said I could have...
