Dinosaur Ridge is an outdoor dinosaur and geology museum 20 minutes west of Denver, Colorado near Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. A world-class dinosaur tracksite with more than 250 dinosaur footprints to explore. The tracks were made during the Cretaceous Period (100 million years ago) and are right where the dinosaurs left them, though the environment has changed dramatically since that time. Read more
