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.
Maybe it s for a new job or maybe it s to take a leap and try something new, but if you re reading this, you might be looking to move to Fort Collins.
