Dinosaur Ridge

Cool places in Colorado ✈️

📍Location: Dinosaur Ridge

Discover prehistoric wonders at Dinosaur Ridge in Morrison, Colorado! 🦖 Explore fossilized dinosaur tracks and bones that date back 150 million years, offering a unique glimpse into the age of the dinosaurs. Whether you're a history buff or just love the outdoors, this iconic spot is a must-see for all ages. #DinosaurRidge #Paleontology #ColoradoAdventure #Fossils

Good Part:

IT'S FREE!! They do have a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs. You can also purchase a ticket for the guided tour ride!

Need To Note:

If you are going in the winter, bundle up!! You will be in the mountains and the weather changes in an instant. One moment, it was sunny, and the next was cloudy. Bundle your babies up as well! The trail is approximately 2.5 miles round trip. So wear comfy shoes because you will be going uphill for a lot of it.

How to get there:

To get to Dinosaur Ridge from Denver, head southwest on US-285 S for about 15 miles. Take the exit onto Morrison Road/County Road 93 and continue towards Morrison. Once you reach Morrison, follow signs to Dinosaur Ridge. The site is located just outside the town and is easy to find with ample parking available. The drive typically takes about 30 minutes from downtown Denver.

⭐️Overall rating: 10/10!! This is such a fun and free activity to do with the kids. You can take in breathtaking views while soaking in the history of the area. There are also hiking trails in that area if you want to hike before or after. You will also be in the vicinity of Red Rock Park!

At first I wanted to try out Stardew Valley Expanded but I thought it’d be too huge so I went with Ridgeside Village because the characters looked interesting and I thought it’d fit well with the base game. Has anyone else tried out Ridgeside Village? #stardewvalley #stardew valley #stardewval
