Description

Dinosaur Flats contains an area open to target shooting with six defined lanes. In addition, the drive to the highest points along the ridge has several scenic overlooks. Pinon-juniper woodlands are the predominant trees growing in the rocky area. For more information, please contact the Royal Gorge Field Office.

Directions

From US Hwy 50 in Canon City, you can turn north at the Steinmeier traffic light (at Wal-Mart) or head North on Raynolds at the next traffic light. Travel north on either road as both will curve to the left and intersect Field Avenue. Turn north (right) on Field and travel on this two-lane road for about five miles. It will join Fremont County Road 9 (also called Red Canyon Road) at a "Y" intersection. From here, continue north for 3.0 miles to the BLM road on your left. Head up the steep grade to the area open to target shooting or continue to scenic overlooks. Wet weather gates close the area to motorized use during wet conditions.
