Carved eons ago by the Cache la Poudre River; the Poudre Canyon; north and west of Fort Collins; Colorado; has long been a favored recreation place; for fishing; hiking; camping; and more; of area residents and tourists. The canyon has many colorful tales to tell; this book takes readers on a drive through that history; milepost by milepost; stopping at historic places and taking some side trips along the way. Beginning with trappers and mountain men; the canyon has been traveled since the early 1800s; and Native Americans roamed here for times unknown before that. Explorers came; as did seekers of gold and silver. The expanding railroads resulted in logging enterprises; and mining interests brought about better access to mining towns. Near the end of the 19th century; tourists began to enjoy the hunting and fishing of the area. In 1920; the road; which had been blocked from either direction by a place in the canyon called the Narrows; finally went through all the way; bringing resorts and tourists.
