Experience the Sites and Scenery

Opportunities to explore the natural beauty that the Fort Collins area has to offer are almost infinite. The locals love Lory State Park, with its 26 miles of hiking and biking trails. The Horsetooth Reservoir borders the park and affords the option to explore the area via kayak or canoe. This is a gorgeous outdoor recreation space to explore during the Fort Collins camper rental trip. Just a little North of town lies the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, a terrain of foothills that spreads across the Eastern side of the Continental Divide. There are six wilderness areas to explore within the massive preserve, some with rustic camping sites available to park the Fort Collins motorhome rental.

A visit to the Fort Collins area would not be complete without at least a couple days set aside to explore Rocky Mountain National Park. One of the most visited national parks in the country, Rocky Mountain National Park spans 415 square miles and boasts over 300 miles of hiking trails and paths. Expect breathtaking views of the towering mountains, lush forests, sparkling waterways and prime wildlife observing opportunities. Also, expect a lot of traffic in some areas. It’s recommended to arrive at the park early in the day. Or better yet, stay on site overnight in the Fort Collins RV rental and engage in some spectacular stargazing and immerse yourself in the calm and quiet of the forest.  There are five visitor centers and there’s a free shuttle that operates out of the Bear Lake area. If you don’t have a secondary vehicle in tow, it may be worth renting a car for the days you’re visiting the park to enable access to traversing some of the steep and winding roads. With your secondary mode of transportation, take in some seriously spectacular views and head up Trail Ridge Road. Enter this over 40 miles of road in Estes Park and hit above-the-treeline altitudes of up to 12,000 feet during the drive. For some prime moose gazing, visit Kawuneeche Valley, known as the “quiet side” of the park. There are multitudes of other spots to visit while touring the park with your Fort Collins RV rental, so pick a few spots and enjoy.   

City Attractions

The lively and carefully renovated Old Town Historic district offers doses of history, tons of local restaurants and eateries, breweries and unique shops to explore.

This expansive museum offers a range of exhibits, from Earth and Space to local wildlife, to a family-friendly Exploration Zone. There are golf courses (frisbee and traditional style), horseback riding ranches and mini amusement parks throughout the metro area. Take the Fort Collins camper rental for a family visit to The Farm at Lee Martinez Park. Learn and interact with a variety of farm animals and experience a little bit of farming culture. Meet some striking rehabilitated birds of prey during a visit to the Rocky Mountain Raptor Center. There is definitely something for everyone along for the ride on the Fort Collins RV rental trip.
