Colorado Unveils the World’s Longest Track of Dinosaur Footprints Open for Public Access
Nestled just to the west of Ouray, a quaint town cradled by the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, lies an extraordinary discovery. Here, at an elevation of about 9,300 feet above sea level, fossilized dinosaur footprints have been found embedded in sandstone. These aren’t just any footprints; they represent a moment frozen in time, where a dinosaur dramatically changed its direction. This shift is not just a minor deviation; the tracks show a turn exceeding 180 degrees, indicating a significant alteration in the creature’s course.
