About Wellington

Learn more about the host city, Wellington.

The little town of Wellington is 10 miles from neighboring Fort Collins, with an estimated population of 10,400 (2019). Although the urban presence of the Front Range tends to overshadow the town, it could be said that Wellington wouldn't be here without it. Nonetheless, the town of today is a worthwhile trip of its own right, and proves the value and importance of pulling back, and feeling amazed.
