Located in Colorado, the world's longest dinosaur tracks are now open to the public, providing a glimpse into prehistoric times. Approximately 150 million years ago, a dinosaur with a lengthy neck wandered the area, leaving behind 134 consecutive footprints. The path of this sauropod includes a unique 270-degree turn, preserved in sandstone at an elevation of approximately 9,300 feet above sea level.
Recently, the United States Forest Service acquired three parcels of land in Ouray County, Colorado, including the West Gold Hill Dinosaur Track site. These footprints can be accessed via the Silvershield Trail, a two-mile route that gains about 1,600 feet in elevation, situated just west of Ouray.
