New Trail Near Ramseier Farm Park in Greeley

They are building a new trail/path  near our house. The trail is by the Ramseier Farm Park that they just recently finished. The park has a nice long walking path that circles the 15 acres. On one side of the park is an irrigation ditch, ditch #4 I believe. Cassie and I often walked the ditch after visiting the park.

What they are doing is making a concrete trail that links the park’s trails with the ditch. I have a feeling they may eventually link that up with the Poudre River trail which would be awesome for us!


New Concrete Pathway


Before…This is what it looked like a few years ago -just a weedy ditch trail

The Poudre Trail goes along the Poudre River all the way to neighboring towns of Windsor and Fort Collins.  This would link our neighborhood with it!  It makes walking or biking a lot easier/safer to get to other areas. I think we may have been one of the first to use it as it hasn’t been advertised as open yet. We are ready for summer bike riding once again!

Poudre River Flood

They have some roads closed off on the north side of town.  The Poudre River is over its banks in areas due to the melting snow in the mountains and recent rain.   The trail is only a few miles away so Cassie and I figured we would jump on our bikes and see if we could get into trouble. 


East meets west, but the road is Closed.

We actually didn’t encounter too much resistance to jump the signs and get a closer look.  This is a small ditch, and it took out the trail completely.


Like I said, it used to be a small ditch.


You can see where its widening out

There are all kinds of news reports going on talking about the flooding.  Its only a few miles from our house too!  But all is dry here, so all in all a nice night to lay in the grass and watch the chickens and pets in the lawn.
