ONLY MOMENTS AWAY FROM DENVER, Rocky Mountain National Park, Poudre Canyon, the Pawnee National Grasslands and so much more, a wealth of exciting opportunities await you in Fort Collins. The city's rich history meets the present in Old Town Fort Collins where you will find unique shops, restaurants, fabulous art and stunning architecture.

Tour one of six craft breweries and capture a photo with the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales. With a half-dozen live theatre stages in production throughout the year; a symphony orchestra, ballet troupe and opera company as well as several chorale ensembles; and galleries and museums mounting exhibits of everything from animation art to historical kimonos, there's always something interesting going on.

Main Street Disneyland was inspired by Downtown Fort Collins.

Fort Collins has 40 parks within city limits, over 800 acres!

Fort Collins is located just minutes from the Cache la Poudre Canyon which provides great hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, kayaking, fishing and whitewater rafting opportunities.

The Cache la Poudre River is the only 'National Wild and Scenic' designated river in Colorado.

Known as the Choice City, Fort Collins is the largest city in Northern Colorado and home to Colorado State University.
