Easy-Viewing Dinosaur Footprints The dinosaur footprints are on a steep angle adjacent to a inclined road west of the highway. You won't be able to see these from the highway unless you walk up the road. There is a bar across the road that keeps it closed to vehicles. [Johnny Chu, 10/23/2011]
Dinosaur Footprints at Dinosaur Ridge See dinosaur footprints climbing up the side of a mountain beside Hwy C470 west of Denver. You can see them from the highway, but you'll have an accident trying to look for them. You're better off driving right up to them. The Dinosaur Ridge Visitors Center is at 16831 West Alameda Pkwy and the footprints are up the road on the side of the mountain -- you'll see some fencing where they are. [Laura Bloom, 10/28/2006]
