Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite
Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail
A dinosaur footprint site managed by the BLM on Moab's northern outskirts. A wooden boardwalk allows close views of about 200 Early Cretaceous dinosaur and crocodilian footprints.
The site is reached by turning off US Route 191 onto a dirt road for about 3 kilometers. It was discovered in 2009. The footprints include those of theropods, sauropods, ornithopods and ancient crocodilians. A wooden boardwalk and interpretive signs are well developed. Nearby is the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail, where fossil bones can be seen along the way. Admission is free, and a visit takes about 1 hour. Dirt roads can be muddy after rain, so drive carefully with an ordinary sedan.
