Mountain Foothills Fort Collins

There are some beautiful hotels nestled around Fort Collins Colorado to stay in while you visit the area. It’s not far from Denver and is mainly a college town filled with some great microbreweries and pubs. So you know what you will be up to at night based on that information. If you like micro brew beers you are in the right place. In fact, there are tours of the breweries that beer enthusiasts can take part in. They will show you around the breweries and you will have a chance to taste some of the different styles of beer made by the different companies. New Belgium Brewing Company has a nice tasting room and guided and self guided tours offered Monday-Saturday.  Coppersmith’s Pub and Brewing also offers tastes and tours as well as a nice place to play a game or two of pool.

If you want to learn more about the area there are a couple museums that can be visited. The Museum of Contemporary Art and the Fort Collins Museum. The contemporary art museum is filled with wonderful modern art ranging from a few of the classics to some new emerging artist. They do change their exhibits through out the year and sometime they are closed for the changes so check ahead to see what they have going on while your there. When the Fort Collins Museum started it was a Pioneer Museum built in 1941. It was moved in the mid seventies and is now inside the old Carnegie Library building. It has matured in its information on the history and culture of the area as time has pasted. In its decent collection of artifacts from the surrounding areas you will learn many things about the people who came before you. In the late 1980s they added the Discovery Science Center which has become a great feature in exciting people of all ages around science and stars.
