Fort Collins sits on the Cache la Poudre River in northern Colorado, a university city at the foot of the Front Range. Colorado State University gives the city its campus and research energy, and Old Town, the historic downtown, offers shops, restaurants, and breweries in restored brick buildings. Old Town is often cited as an inspiration for Disneyland's Main Street, and its square hosts concerts and festivals through the year. Horsetooth Reservoir, west of town, offers boating and trails, and the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery covers local history and science.
