What makes a good sunset in Fort Collins?
Fort Collins sits where the Front Range meets the high plains, giving you a dramatic western skyline with the Rocky Mountain foothills as backdrop. Horsetooth Reservoir to the west frames the mountain ridgeline and provides water reflection opportunities. Fall post-front evenings are reliably excellent here: the wind clears the air fast and leaves vivid color behind. Lory State Park gives you elevated shooting positions above the reservoir.
What time is sunset in Fort Collins tonight?
Fort Collins sunset ranges from around 4:35 PM in December to 8:35 PM in June. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
