Friends of Fort Collins, welcome to one of America's best-kept secrets. But, the word is getting out. Fort Collins is receiving national recognition as one of the best destinations in the west, and for good reason.

Named by Outside magazine as one of "America's Dream Towns," Fort Collins has as wide a variety of outdoor pursuits as any city in the country. And we are a progressive city as well. You can feel good about visiting Fort Collins, as the Sierra Club named us one of four Sustainable Cities for our Best Practices for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency.

You can even purchase a locally brewed beer that was crafted with wind power. Fort Collins is the home of six breweries, representing
the finest in craft brewing, and is the beer capital of Colorado.

While you're here, take a plunge on Colorado's only National Wild and Scenic River, the Cache la Poudre, one of the best whitewater rafting and trout fishing streams in Colorado, just minutes from town. Or spend a morning in a hot-air balloon as you view the majestic Rocky Mountains in quiet splendor.

Our rich history is visible throughout the city, as Fort Collins is nationally recognized as a Preserve America City. We are rich in the arts, recognized for our cutting-edge theatre and music programs.

Enjoy Fort Collins and its many offerings. Once you've discovered us, we know we'll see you again.
