Cold Shivers Point overlooks the precipitous Columbus Canyon and the Grand Valley. The canyon floor is over 1.5-billion years old and was once an ocean floor. The landscape evolved, becoming marshland and swamp when dinosaurs ruled, creating an ideal environment for the many fossils found here, including the first known skeleton of the Brachiosaurus.
