Cache la Poudre River
The Cache la Poudre River in Fort Collins about 90 minutes from Denver has a fancy name but is no slouch when it comes to exciting rapids.
The ‘pooder” as the locals refer to it, is the only river in the state that has been designated as “wild and scenic' for its breathtaking views and abundant natural wildlife.
