As part of a special edition of Xenorama, this place will be featured. In fact, several places like this will be in the issue. It's a lot of fun to research and many pictures have actually been taken by me. Dinosaur Ridge is a really cool area up by Red Rocks. I went to that amphitheater many times in the 80s and never knew this place was here. Then I saw an advertisement for the local hotel that has dinosaurs all over it, and had to go.
It's really enjoyable, both the hotel and the fossil bed/formation. I'm not sure what exactly to call it, but there is a tour bus all along the ridge, which features many sauropod tracks, as well as tracks from other dinosaurs. I'm probably going back sometime next year, during the summer. I need to do a bit more research for the book.
And take some better pictures, I hope.
