Winding their way across the Great Plains like so many ribbons, rivers and streams were vital to survival for all lifeforms that inhabited the parched expanse. For humans, watercourses also served as directional aids, tracks for travel corridors, and convenient boundaries. The Cache la Poudre was such a river. Its verdant valley was referred to as the jáaianahâw by the Arapaho people and first appear on a map of the region as a result of Major Stephen H. Long’s expedition of 1820. By 1835, it was being called the Cache la Poudre, or “hide the powder.” Significant at various times, in various ways, the Poudre River has many tales to tell. From the 1820s to the 1870s this “downstream” segment factored prominently in river lore. This tour takes you around the circumference of Rigden Reservoir while stopping at several sites during the walk to relate stories of the people and events that added to its colorful history.

To fully understand the vastness that encompassed the land of the Louisiana Purchase, the government of the United States organized expeditions and sent them out to probe its reaches. Beginning with the Corps of Discovery in 1804, columns of soldiers and scientists ventured into the unknown western country. In 1820 the first of these explorations passed into the Cache la Poudre River drainage led by a major in the U. S. Army’s topographical engineers named Stephen H. Long. On the heels of Long’s party came additional expeditions. The junction of the Poudre River and Boxelder Creek in Running Deer Natural Area (managed by the City of Fort Collins) was singularly significant for its role as a crossing site for early exploring parties. These columns then marched along the north bank of the Poudre until they reached the foothills to the west. This tour allows you to literally walk in the footsteps of these early explorers that passed through the area two hundred years ago.
