For those of us that live here, we're not surprised that the LA Times Travel section has called Fort Collins the 'Happiest Place on Earth'.

Fort Collins is anything but bland, offering culture and university town sophistication in the Rockies. Its multimillion-dollar Fort Collins Museum of Discoveryopened last fall and houses 16,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits for kids and adults. Fort Collins is an hour's drive from the Denver airport, but once there, ditch the car and rent bikes to get around. Go to Fort Collins Bike Library to learn more.

 

The article points out that the Disneyland was inspired by Fort Collins downtown (Burlington, VT has a similar feel), the importance and prominence of beer and bicycles, and basically shares what we knew all along--Fort Collins is awesome.

Not surprising that another national outlet knows it, too.
