People and Places Colorado History Series: Cache La Poudre: people, gunpowder, the river

Event Details

Flowing between colorful canyon walls and under the riffles and torrents of Poudre Canyon are stories of the Cache la Poudre that stir wonder and enchantment. Venture west of Fort Collins along the Cache la Poudre - North Park Scenic Byway to explore Colorado's only wild and scenic river and one of only three National Heritage Areas in the state.
