Dinosaur Ridge is a must-visit site for anyone interested in prehistoric Colorado. Here, you can travel back in time by more than 100 million years. The open-air exhibits showcase genuine dinosaur bones preserved in sandstone and over 300 footprints of dinosaurs found in the top layers of sand and mudstone. If you're looking for a closer look at the beasts of the past, be sure to check out the Dinosaur Ridge Exhibit Hall. This site is exceptional because it was here that the world's first Stegosaurus was discovered. In addition, there are more than 250 remarkable Cretaceous dinosaur tracks, dozens of Jurassic dinosaur bones, and many other trace fossils. Dinosaur Ridge is considered one of the best dinosaur track sites in North America and is among the top such sites in the world, according to a board of respected paleontologists. If you're interested in helping to preserve these treasures, please plan a visit to Dinosaur Ridge.
