The wildcard · Reader routed
Route the next edition.
Every Trail View leaves one stop to the readers. Nominate the Fort Collins scoop spot the July 2026 route missed — the editors verify every nomination in person before it can appear, and the next edition prints what readers sent in.
No prize, no purchase — nominations shape the route, nothing else. Just the place and why; please don’t include personal information.

How the Scoop Trail works
The Scoop Trail is a free reader passport from Ice Cream Fort Collins. Every stop is a real, editorially-chosen shop — nothing on this trail is invented, and no shop paid for its place. Your check-ins are saved to your own device; when you hold a live passport, each check-in is recorded once so a stop can later see the foot traffic the trail sent its way. We never guess a number we haven't measured.
