Wellington, CO

Wellington sits 10 miles northeast of Fort Collins along US 287, making it an easy 15-minute drive from the university town. From Denver, take I-25 north 65 miles to the Fort Collins exit, then connect to 287. This prairie community of 12,000 enjoys 300+ days of sunshine at 5,000 feet elevation with Front Range views. The historic grain elevator still towers over farmland, processing local wheat and corn.
