Cambria Lime Kiln
Full Size Image Cambria Lime Kiln

Photographed 14 February 2015.

The Golden Civic Foundation interpretive panel at the Cambria Lime Kiln reads as follows:

The Cambria Lime Kiln stands as one of the few remaining historic facilities of Goldens industrial legacy. It is the only known surviving man-made industrial component of Golden's brick-making operations and is likely the only historic industrial kiln of any kind remaining in the Golden region and possibly in all of Jefferson County. The company and the individuals behind it had a tremendous influence on the development of the Golden area during the 1880s and 1890s when Golden was a booming town.

The Cambria Lime Kiln was constructed in 1879 and was made from native sandstone that was quarried from its vicinity. The fact that is was built from stone and not from brick is a rather unusual feature for an industrial kiln of this region. The Cambria Brick and Tile Company which operated in Golden from 1879 to the mid-1890s, built this kiln to serve its commercial and residential interests. Through its plant, kilns, and lime and clay quarries, the Cambria Company became one of the most diverse and productive industrial plants in Jefferson County and was responsible for much of the building materials used to develop Golden in the late 19th century. The Cambria Lime Kiln is the final remaining structure of the Cambria Company's operations.

  • Vehicle 1. 603 Iowa St. This garage is set back 10 feet from the alley and a car is parked on the garage apron out of the alley right of way.
  • Vehicle 2. 613 Iowa St. This is one of four garages completed in 2019 built with a 5 foot setback from the alley and the occupant routinely parks a truck that is partially inside the alley right of way.
  • Vehicle 3. 617 Iowa St. There is sufficient room behind the house to park a car outside the alley right of way.
  • Vehicle 4. 705 Iowa St. This is an ADU built in 2020 and is set back 10 feet from the alley, so there is room to park a car out of the alley right of way.

Clay Mining
Excavación en la arcilla
Five generations of the Parfet Family operated these and other local clay mines.
Cinco generationes de la familia Parfet operaron estas y ortas minas de arcilla.

In 1877, George W. Parfet, Senior began mining the rich clay from between the harder sandstone layers and restored Golden's mantle as a mning hotspot. This mine was named the Rockwell and in its heyday it shipped 70-75 rail cars filled with clay weekly, each weighing over 2,000 tons!

Bricks made from this clay were used in the Jefferson County Hall of Justice and the Human Services buildings, Denver East and South high schools, the Governor's Mansion and more. The mine closed in 2001 and was reclaimed in 2002 by the City of Golden.

Sign sponsored by the Golden Civic Foundation.

Welcome to Triceratops Trail
Things to See ...

This one-mile trail winds through an old clay mine, owned and operated byt the Parfet family from the 1870's to the 1990's. The signs along this trail help interpret the evidence left by dinosaurs, other animals and plants of Late Cretaceous time.

Trace fossils resulting from animal activity as well as leaf and log impressions are useful in reconstructing prehistoric environments.

  1. Clay Pit Overlook. The clay pit offers a view of dinosaur tracks, evidence of a stream and an area trampled by dinosaurs.
  2. Duckbill Tracks and Other Traces. This site features different types of dinosaur tracks.
  3. Clay Mining. The narrow pits were mined many years ago. Tree trunks were wedged between the sandstone walls for the safety of the miners.
  4. Geologic Overlook. This site provides a general overview of the geology of Golden.
  5. Triceratops Tracks. Natural casts of tracks of horned dinosaurs, probably Triceratops, appear on the sandstone wall.
  6. Palm Fronds & Bird Tracks. Impressions of palm leaves as well as dinosaur and bird footprits can be seen here.

Golden's Changing Landscapes
Mountains Rise Higher, Volcanoes Erupt
67-34 million years ago.
The birth of the present-day Rocky Mountains began with the uplift of large fault-bounded blocks. Rivers washed rock debris from the newly elevated mountains, depositing coarse sand and gravel at their base. These deposits are now preserved as the Arapahoe, Denver, and Green Mountain formations. 64 million years ago, volcanic eruptions near Golden produced lava flows that form North and South Table Mountains.

As uplift of the Rockies continued, strata originally deposited horizontally were tilted to near vertical.

55-34 millions years ago, The Laramie Rocky Mountains were eroded down to a gently sloping surface. Sediments, carried by rivers, buried the mountain front and spread across the eastern plains.

Erosion Sculpts the Landscape
34 million years ago to today.

The present-day Rocky Mountains were uplifted to their current elevations. Rivers cut into their present valleys removing softer rock and leaving more resistant rocks. This erosion created features such as the high mountains of the Continental Divide, the jagged rock formations of Red Rocks, Dinosaur Ridge, Green Mountain, and the Table Mountains

Golden's Changing Landscapes

Several mountain ranges have been uplifted and subsequently eroded away before the rise of the Rocky Mountains you see today. The geologic history of Colorado started nearly two billion years ago, and is recorded in the old rocks seen in the mountains to the west. We start our discussion 72 million years ago, when Colorado was inundated by an inland sea.

Colorado Submerged by an Inland Sea
72-69 million years ago.

An ancient shallow seaway covered much of Colorado and deposited marine shale (mud and clay) forming the Pierre Formation.

The Sea Retreats as Mountains Rise
68 million years ago.

The inland sea retreated with the beginning uplift of the Laramide Rocky Mountains. Rivers carried sediment from the mountains to the shore (Fox Hills Formation). Along the rivers, sand, clay, and coal were deposited in alternating layers. These river and swamp deposits are the Laramie Formation. Dinosaurs and plant debris made impressions on muddy surfaces before being buried by sand that washed in from periodic floods. The rocks where you are now standing are about 68 million years old. The following diagrams show how the rocks you see along the Triceratops Trail were formed.

When dinosaurs left their tracks at this site, the environment was similar to the swampy Mississippi Delta region of modern-day Louisiana.

River channels were flanked by swamps where clay and coal deposits formed.

During periodic floods, the river breached its banks, spilling sand across the swamps. This repeated flooding created the alternating sand and clay layers that we see here.

White Ash Mine
Full Size Image Interpretive plaque for White Ash Mine

Photographed 25 October 2014.

“Recently a fatal accident occurred, causing the death of ten men who were working at the end of the lowest level of the White Ash mine in the direction of the Loveland mine. The latter mine has for years been full of water. One of the upper levels of the White Ash, which if protracted would have made connection with the lowest level of the Loveland, has for a long time been on fire, and it is supposed that this at last burned through into the Loveland, letting in the water, which ran down the White Ash shaft and drowned the men working in the levels below. The bodies of the men have not been recovered and the mine has been closed down since the accident.” (Ann. Report Golden School of Mines for 1889, p. 60)
Coal

The Old White Ash Mine was among the first worked in Colorado and was abandoned September 9, 1889 by reason of accidental flooding, supposedly from the Loveland mine to the north.

“A longitudinal cross-section of the Old White Ash mine at the date of abandonment shows the collar of the shaft to be 135 feet west of the main worked seam, and at the 600-foot level was still 39 feet west. Below this the strata become vertical, with indication of an easterly turn, so that the shaft will nowhere cut the main seam. The seam is opened from the shaft by cross-cuts, levels being driven from these. The main coal seam 6 to 8 feet thick was mined to a depth of 730 feet, A second seam, 3 feet thick, lies from 10 to 20 feet west of that worked. This has been found to vary considerably in thickness, but has never fallen below workable limits.” (Emmons, S. F., Cross, W., and Eldridge, G. H., 1896, Geology of the Denver Basin, United States Geological Survey Monograph 27)
