Fort Collins, Colorado

Fort Collins is simply a great place to live. In fact, Money Magazine listed Fort Collins as number 1 in their 2006 best places to live in the U.S. issue. Not only is Fort Collins home to Colorado State University, the city also boasts several superb cultural attractions and a vibrant retail and business economy. Be sure to visit The Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art located in historic Old Town, the red brick pedestrian walkway and plaza, which is always busy with cultural events, shops and outdoor festivals.

Dining is an adventure in this college town. Have a falafel and listen to blue grass music at  Avogadro's Number, or drink a pint at Northern Colorado’s oldest brewery, Cooper Smith’s Pub & Brewery. After a quick bite, head to the award winning Bas Blue Theatre which presents a number of productions in an intimate salon setting.   

Although outdoor recreational opportunities abound throughout the city with its multitude of parks and greenways, the surrounding area presents an even larger array of options for fun.  Horsetooth Mountain Park is a mere 25 minute drive away.  Follow the trail that is rocky, but never too difficult up to Horsetooth Rock for a dramatic view of the city of Fort Collins or go swimming in the reservoir itself. The ski resorts are legendary in this part of the Rockies. Hit the slopes at Breckenridge, Beaver Creek, Vail , Keystone, or Copper Mountain.  All located in the Summit Valley just a quick two hour drive from Fort Collins.  The locals often stay even closer to home and enjoy cross country skiing and snowshoeing on the snow-covered peaks surrounding the pristine Poudre River Canyon.
