Walk Through Time overview
Walk Through Time
One of the main reasons to visit the Walk Through Time is to witness the incredible geological formations that have been exposed over millions of years. Visitors can see layers of rock from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, as well as evidence of ancient rivers and lakes that once flowed through the area.
The site is also home to several well-preserved dinosaur fossils, including some of the largest and most complete specimens ever discovered. Visitors can see fossils of Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, and Diplodocus, among others.
In addition to the unique geological and paleontological features, the Walk Through Time offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the Yampa River and the colorful rock formations that make up the park.
Overall, the Walk Through Time is a must-see attraction for anyone interested in geology, paleontology, or just the natural beauty of Colorado. Visitors can hike the trail at their own pace and take in the incredible sights and sounds of this ancient landscape.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
