Dinosaur Ridge is a popular geological attraction located in the city of Golden, Colorado. This natural wonder is a 2.5-mile-long ridge that is home to some of the most significant dinosaur fossils in the world. The ridge is a part of the Morrison Formation, which is a geological formation that dates back to the Late Jurassic period, approximately 150 million years ago.
Visitors to Dinosaur Ridge can take a guided tour of the area, which includes a walk along the ridge and a visit to the Dinosaur Ridge Visitor Center. The visitor center features exhibits that showcase the history of the area, including the discovery of dinosaur fossils and the geology of the Morrison Formation.
One of the most impressive features of Dinosaur Ridge is the numerous dinosaur footprints that can be found along the ridge. These footprints were left by various species of dinosaurs, including the Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, and Apatosaurus. The footprints are preserved in sandstone and can be seen up close during the guided tour.
In addition to the dinosaur footprints, visitors to Dinosaur Ridge can also see other geological features, such as the red sandstone formations that make up the ridge. The area is also home to various wildlife, including birds, deer, and coyotes.
Overall, Dinosaur Ridge is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in dinosaurs, geology, or natural history. The area is a unique and fascinating glimpse into the ancient world and the creatures that once roamed the earth.
