"Public Land in Colorado Preserves Epic Dinosaur Trackway"

The U.S. Forest Service has purchased three mining claims in the San Juan Mountains, making the West Gold Hill Dinosaur Tracksite in Ouray officially public land. The site features a unique sauropod trackway with 134 consecutive steps, including a more than 180-degree turn, and is one of the longest continuous trackways in the world. Hikers can now access the site, located at an altitude of 9,300 feet, and the Forest Service plans to raise awareness about it while ensuring it remains open to the public for generations.
