Checking out Dino prints at Dinosaur Ridge

There is a place called Dinosaur Ridge.  It is just a wall

outside of Denver in the side of a mountain that has the

history of Denver written all over it.  At one point Denver

was all under water and so there are mangrove tree holds

in the rock, ripple marks and even dinosaur prints.  There

were bones found there also but now they are all gone and

in a museum somewhere.  It was a short walk up the hill

to find a treasure of information about the landscape and

wildlife of Colorado from millions of years ago. 

There was a fake bone dig for the girls at the front gate

of the park area.  They were really enjoying their dig.

It was such a hot day walking out in the sun we decided

that the rest of the day would be well spent next to the pool!
