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.
