Travels in the American Southwest

Dinosaur Tracks



Located just off SR160 about 5 miles from US89, this very accessible site provides income to local Navajo tribe members living in nearby community of Moenave. Indian men offer to guide you to the different tracks. (You park your vehicle across the gravel road. While viewing the tracks, you will be a distance away from the parking area - When we visited, we took the guide.) At the conclusion of the tour, you're urged to see the Indian women selling bead jewelry from stands strategically placed between the dinosaur tracks and parking area.
