2025 Field Trip: Colorado Collections

A Trip Through Colorado Collections 
April 25, 2025 – 8am to 4pm 

Join Dinosaur Ridge on this trip to see what’s housed behind locked doors, cabinets, and back rooms of Colorado museums! We will start the day with a guided tour and exploration of geology and paleontology collections at Dinosaur Ridge. Afterward, we’ll check out the current home of the first Stegosaurus bones and other collections of Morrison discoveries at the Morrison Natural History Museum.

We then head across town to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science for behind-the-scenes access to their Education, Paleontology, and Geology collections led by experts and collections managers. This trip is a fan favorite and fills quickly, so sign up today for a chance to join in on the behind-the-scenes fun! 

LOCATION & TRANSPORTATION 
We will be using one or two of Dinosaur Ridge’s 15-passenger vans on this journey. We’ll meet at the Martin G. Lockley Discovery Center and then use our buses to journey to the Morrison Natural History and Denver Museums, and back again.
