Riding on the Poudre River Trail during a full moon is a unique experience, but we ask people to take these simple steps to keep themselves and other trail users safe. Lights are required at night. Wear a helmet. Bring plenty of water. Ride with a group or a buddy. Review the forecast, dress for the weather, or stay home if the conditions are not safe. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

September's full corn moon is so called because this is when crops are gathered at the end of the summer season. At this time, the Moon appears particularly bright and rises early, letting farmers continue harvesting into the night. This moon is also sometimes named the barley moon, and it is often the nearest full moon to the autumnal equinox, earning the title of 'harvest moon'. Moonrise: 7:45 PM MST.
September 7th is also a Total Lunar Eclipse, but it is not visible in the USA:
