GOLDEN, Colo. — If you're looking for a fun, educational (shhh!) activity for the family, you can rarely go wrong with something involving dinosaurs.
Denver7 took a tour of Golden's Triceratops Trail, a walk through the past that does not often get as much attention as its companion up the road, Dinosaur Ridge.
However, this quarter-mile trek features some snapshots of the past that Dinosaur Ridge does not have. For example, it has tracks from the apex predator, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which has a lot of history in this town.
"The first T-Rex tooth ever found in the world was right here in Golden," said former geologist Kermit Shields, who gave Denver7 a tour earlier this afternoon.
In the above video, you can see more of the 68 million-year-old tracks and traces on a trail that is free to explore.
