Dinosaur Ridge was founded in 1989 with the purpose of preserving the fossils on Dinosaur Ridge near Morrison, Colorado, and educating the public about the natural history of the area. Our mission was later expanded to include the fossil sites at Triceratops Trail in Golden, Colorado. Dinosaur Ridge is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, and all donations are tax deductible. Dinosaur Ridge operates Dinosaur Ridge with the support of, and in partnership with, Jefferson County Open Space.
