Moenkopi Dinosaur Tracks

For decades the Haskie family has taken tourists to see dinosaur tracks and fossils on their land outside of Tuba City. Now the Navajo Nation plans to preserve them. A paleontologist in St. George, Utah said this site could be one of the biggest in the country, but you need a permit from the Navajo Nation to study it thoroughly. The tracks embedded in the hard sandstone were most likely made by Dilophosaurus about 193 million years ago in a mudflat along a river and filled in and protected by super-fine sediment. Once they put a nice walking pathway you won't be able to walk along the tracks and touch these foot prints and knock on the fossilized dino bones to hear the hollow sound.

A great visit if you're in the area! I had a great experience with the Navajo guide who really was into the history. He was no paleontologist, but nonetheless informative in his own right. The place is free but I strongly recommend a decent tip of $10 to your guide. They sell locale Navajo crafts and jewelry there as well. Well worth the trip!
