In case you haven’t heard, public access was recently opened for the ‘world’s largest continuous dinosaur track site,’ also known as the West Gold Hill Dinosaur Tracksite in Colorado’s Ouray County.

The tracks were left by a long-neck sauropod dinosaur, estimated to be more than 150 million years old. The site features 134 consecutive prints, measuring at about 106 yards long, also noteworthy as rare evidence of a saurapod’s sharp-turning behavior.

News broke about the track site opening to the public last April, with drone video recently published by ABC capturing how cool the spectacle really is.
