My city is often named one of the best places to live in the US. It's also a surprisingly great place to visit.
I live in Fort Collins, Colorado, a city often ranked among the best places to live in the US. Here's what people should see and do when they visit.
Fort Collins, Colorado, a city often hailed as one of the best places to live in the United States, may not draw as many visitors as other Colorado destinations, according to resident Zanny Merullo. Despite this, Merullo is a strong advocate for the city's attractions, which range from outdoor activities to community events and historic sites.
Located just 65 miles north of Denver, Fort Collins boasts a population of approximately 170,000 people and is situated near Rocky Mountain National Park. The city's proximity to nature is a major draw, with Horsetooth Reservoir and the Poudre River being popular spots for hiking, paddling, fishing, and whitewater rafting. Fort Collins' Old Town, a historic district filled with local shops, restaurants, and bars, offers a quaint, small-town charm that is both inviting and memorable.
The city's reputation as the craft-beer capital of Colorado adds to its appeal, with numerous breweries offering a variety of options, including gluten-free and non-alcoholic beverages. With its abundance of natural beauty, cultural attractions, and local charm, Fort Collins is a city that deserves more recognition as a must-visit destination in Colorado.
