If you enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and biking, the best time to visit is typically between May and October when the weather is warmer and there is less chance of snow. The months of June through August tend to be the warmest, with temperatures averaging in the mid-80s (°F) during the day and dropping to the low 50s (°F) at night.

If you are interested in winter sports like skiing and snowboarding, the best time to visit is typically between December and March when there is plenty of snow in the nearby mountains. Fall (September to November) is also a popular time to visit Fort Collins as the foliage changes to beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow.


Here is a more detailed breakdown of the best times to visit Fort Collins, based on your interests:

  • For outdoor activities: The best time for outdoor activities is from May to September. The weather is warm and sunny during these months, with low humidity. This makes it perfect for hiking, biking, camping, fishing, and swimming.

  • For festivals and events: The best time for festivals and events is from June to August. There are a number of festivals and events that take place during these months, such as the Colorado Brewers Festival, the Fort Collins Food Truck Rally, and the Rocky Mountain Wine Festival.

  • For a more affordable trip: The best time for a more affordable trip is during the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October). The weather is still mild during these months, but there are fewer tourists and prices are lower.

It is important to note that Fort Collins is located at an elevation of 5,003 feet (1,525 meters) above sea level, so even during the summer months, temperatures can drop significantly at night, so packing layers is recommended.
