Nestled into farm and ranch country about an hour’s drive from Denver (not far from the birthplace of Noosa yogurt!), Fort Collins, Colorado, just happens to be one of America’s finest hubs for craft beer, outdoor adventure, festivals, and farm-to-table fare.
Like Denver, Boulder, and the state’s many mountain towns, Fort Collins or FoCO has become an increasingly popular hub for California transplants (like this guy). Its young, friendly vibe permeates every restaurant, shop, and many,
many breweries (there are about 25, so just about one for every 7,000 residents).
If all of that plus excursions like hiking, biking, and kayaking in the state’s notoriously beautiful outdoors sounds like a plan to you, here’s what you’ll want to check out on your next trip to Colorado’s northernmost city.
