Location: US-287 at Wyoming State Line, Larimer Cty
First reassurance shield just after the border
Location: US-287 and CR 43F, Virginia Dale, Larimer Cty
A few miles into Colorado, we’ll pass by unincorporated Virginia Dale. 287 has ample opportunities for passing in the Centennial State.

Location: US-287 and Owl Canyon Rd, Larimer Cty
Reassurance shield as we head out of the Owl Canyon area and pass the Owl Canyon Rd turnoff, which is a shortcut to I-25.
Location: US-287 and Big Ridge Way, Larimer Cty
Another reassurance shield as we make our way down the highway. This is a fairly good stretch of road and a highly underrated alternative to I-80/I-25 between Laramie and Denver- saving between 10 and 30 minutes depending on traffic in Fort Collins.
Location: US 287 and SH-14, Larimer Cty
In 500 feet, we’ll approach SH-14 west.

Location: US-287 and SH-14, Larimer Cty
Turn right for 14 west through the Poudre Canyon towards Walden, stay straight for 287 South/14 East. Colorado is funny about concurrencies- because they don’t technically exist by the letter of the law, signage can be quite strange. In this instance, SH-14 is consistently signed as TO SH-14, although this really is the mainline for SH-14 as well as for US-287. The two routes will travel into Fort Collins together
W to SH-125, E to SH-1
