Dino Tracks & Petroglyphs

Sharpen your investigative skills because here we’ll be hunting clues left millions of years ago by two legged reptiles hunting for food, water, shelter or mates near the ancient shores of a pre-historic lake, long dried up.

If you see a sign for the Poison Spider Trailhead or Longbow Arch then you’re in the right place, follow the uneven but easy to follow trail first to the large boulder that broke off from the cliffs above, scattered with multiple dinosaur tracks.

Following the trail further up you’ll see a spectacular wall of Petroglyphs from different eras, and maybe even some modern graffiti. Avoid the temptation to leave your mark here and take a photograph with you instead.

These historic sites are on public lands but protected by federal law, defacing, adding your own marks, or even pouring water to make the stones glisten is against the law and highly unethical. Please respect these special places and their significance and teach our kids to do the same!
