Dinosaur Ridge in Golden
As students of the Colorado School of Mines in Golden know, Golden has some of the best rock around. Geologists and paleontologists have been flocking to the hills around Golden for years in search of rocks and dinosaurs! In 1877, Arthur Lakes discovered a group of dinosaur fossils which started a huge interest in the area now know as Dinosaur Ridge. In 2012, Dinosaur Ridge is still home to many of the original fossils discovered at the site and is host to a number of tracks where people can discover more about the great dinosaurs that once roamed the Golden hills.
Located off of West Alameda Parkway, Dinosaur Ridge in Golden is an experience for the whole family. The indoor exhibit hall has information about the dinosaurs found in the area, what Golden looked like years ago, and more! Next, head out to the Dinosaur Ridge Trail. The Dinosaur Ridge Trail has 15 sites that include a series of over 300 dinosaur tracks, the beautiful geology of the Hogback, and the bone quarry. The bone quarry is the original site of Dinosaur Ridge in Golden and was where the world was introduced to the first stegosaurus. Visitors can actually touch the fossils as they are embedded in the rock which makes for an amazing experience!
Then, turn your feet toward the Triceratops Trail. Located off of 6th Ave and 19th St in Golden, this mile and a half hiking trail highlights a second set of dinosaur tracks that differ from those found on the Dinosaur Ridge Trail. These sets include tracks from Triceratops, which were the first of these tracks in the world. Also found are mammals, invertebrate, birds, and other dinosaurs which are around 68 million years old. Plant fossils were also found and gave paleontologists an idea of the swamp-like conditions of the Golden area millions of years ago.
Dinosaur Ridge has tours, a gift shop, events, rentals, and more interactive exhibits! Dinosaur Ridge also has volunteer opportunities available for your dinosaur fans. Take a walk in the footsteps of some of the largest and most majestic residents of long ago Golden. Visit Dinosaur Ridge today!

Hello, my name is Rick Myers. The Myers Team works with Keller Williams Advantage Realty to enable us to spread our reach out further.
I personally believe in the philosophy of treating my clients as though we are friends but in a professional demeanor. By stepping into a situation with complete confidence, I am able to appear relaxed and calm in my transactions.
I love the satisfaction I receive not only working with clients but working with my team. As a team we unite with a shared interest; being able to surpass clients' needs through efficiency and dedication.
One of the biggest benefits of working as a team is the availability. Instead of having one agent to accommodate your needs, you have an entire team that's ready and able to assist you at any time.
We love being able to make a difference in a person's real estate experience. Let us make a positive impact on yours!
As first-time home buyers and being new to the Denver area, we were extremely hesitant begin looking at properties. As much as we knew it made sense to buy, we were intimated and overwhelmed by the whole process. Despite our uncertainty, we met Rick for the first time, after being referred by a friend. Immediately, he made the process seem easier, and got us excited to find a home. Being equally particular and inexperience buyers, Rick was extremely patient and always had our best interest in mind. He was exactly what we needed to guide us through a very important decision in our lives. As new home owners, we could not be more happy with the way things turned out. - Kirk Shaffer
As a first time home buyer, Rick's causal approach made me feel very comfortable and at ease in an unfamilliar situation. He took the time to accurately answer any and all questions my husband and I had from start to finish. Having been frustrated even with our own selves at our "greenness" and endless indecisiveness, Rick showed us unconditional patience and a great sense of humor. I did not feel pressured or hurried at all during the whole process and I greatly appreciated that! - Alex Larson
