This rubbing has a stamping effect which marks their passports and can be used to win various prizes. When hikers come along a metal marker on a trail, they can place their hiking “passport”, which they received from the county, over the metal relief and take a rubbing from the plaque (with a pencil, crayon, etc.). Each bronze marker was designed with a unique image that represents the space where it is installed. The artwork for each trail marker plaque was particularly important, as the plaques were used for the county’s unique passport program.

The design team at the Department of Natural Resources provided the metal illustrations, and our studio optimized these designs to ensure each plaque would etch correctly at our etching facility. Each plaque is fixed to a wooden post placed throughout the county’s open spaces trails.
The county is particularly committed to promoting a sense of community and deep appreciation for the natural and agricultural heritage of the area for present and future generations.Įach of the sixteen etched bronze trail marker plaques is a small 3” square.
They also foster responsible land stewardship through maintaining healthy forestry practices. The Larimer County Department of Natural Resources in Colorado manages Larimer County's great outdoor places, including open spaces, trails and water-based recreation areas. When Masterwork was approached by Larimer County to produce their beautifully designed metal Passport Trail Markers, we were thrilled. We are city dwellers here at Masterwork Plaques, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t serious nature lovers.
