Triceratops Trail is a 1.5-mile, gravel hiking trail located one block east of 6th Avenue and 19th Street in Golden, Colorado. The trail winds between large, vertical walls of sandstone and into reclaimed clay pits. The hike should take around an hour round-trip and may involve a few places that are difficult or impossible for elderly and/or handicapped persons to access. Along the trail are several interpretive stops highlighting clay mining and dinosaur, bird, mammal, insect, and invertebrate tracks and traces. The site is also famous for palm frond and other clear leaf and plant impressions left behind in a delta-like, wet environment.
