Story Posts & Trail Sections Descriptions
The 13 Trail Sections
The Poudre River Trail is divided into 13 sections, each named with a historical or geological reference.
Story Posts
As you travel along the trail, you will see large granite posts that indicate the sections of the trail. These “Story Posts” each have the name of the trail section along with decorative carvings that illustrate the history of the section name.
The story posts were crafted by Debbie Dalton and Mike McBride of Greeley Monument Works. Debbie and Mike received an award for First Place in the Category of Public/Civic Monuments for the 2010 AICA Design Contest for the creation of the granite posts.
