Horsetooth is pretty popular, and another option that hasn't been mentioned is Lory State Park. It is adjacent to Horsetooth park, but not part of the same park system. Lory straddles Horsetooth reservoir for quite a few miles and there are quite a few different paths. On the south side, you have Arthurs Rock(sp?), and on the north side you have Timberline trail with alot of mileage in between.

Coopersmith's a brewpub/poolhall with decent food Beau Joes is a Colorado institution pizza place Mary's Mountain Cookies is pretty great, if you like cookies- nice area too Mayor of Oldtown is a hardcore craft beer hangout Fort Collins actually has a huge and thriving restaurant scene. And as you probably know, craft beer is a HUGE thing there. |

Others might differ, but I haven't found any great Mexican places. That being said, I was born and raised in New Mexico which is Green Chili based and the green and red Chile dishes up here are laughable.
For breakfast, Doug's Day Dinner offers a good hearty breakfast and actually has a really good smothered green chili breakfast burrito and their bacon is the nice center cut thick bacon. Downtown there is The Silver Cafe which is probably 50 years old and does a solid breakfast, and you have Snooze which is a trendy hipsterish place, but pretty good and good for a bloody mary. |

Lots of great suggestions already, but if you have a bit more time you might looks at some of these hikes. Great little reference tool.

Will there still be to much snow in late May in the Rawah Wilderness? Looks like some of the trails go up to 12,000 ft or so.

You could check out SNOTEL sites near where you want to go to gauge what the conditions are like up around there. I don't spend much time up in FoCo so their snow could be different from what I experience in the areas I frequent. |

If you like a good breakfast then go to Lucile's. It's Louisiana/Creole and the best in town.

Breakfast - Silver Grill downtown (perhaps already referenced as the Silver Cafe). If you like really big home made cinnamon rolls and traditional breakfast, that's a good one. Also, if you go there, pick up one of their mugs, really nice.
Steak place, I always liked the Charco Broiler. Perhaps not what they used to be, but still had a really good dinner there last time out. |
