Review & FAQ:

At the Dinosaur Ridge Discovery Center you can walk in the footprints of the giant dinosaurs who once roamed freely across the Colorado landscape. The Discovery Center gives all visitors the chance to learn more about the dinosaurs from the permanent dinosaur skeletons on exhibit, before you set out to find their tracks along Dinosaur Ridge and the Triceratops Trail. The 2-mile (round trip) Dinosaur Ridge trail showcases around 300 dinosaur tracks, and is acknowledged to be the best place in the nation to see these uniquely preserved tracks. You can also explore the 1.5 mile Triceratops Trail, where the first Triceratops tracks were found.
