dino cliffs track site st george utah hike

🧭EXPLORE SOUTHERN UTAH

Utah is home to many dinosaur tracks. Dino Cliffs is a short hike near Washington where you can spot tracks from Grallator, Kayentapus, and Eubrontes dinosaurs!

🦖 Not being a dinosaur specialist, I am wondering if Littlefood, Ducky, and Cera came through our neck of the woods. (Who knows who this is?). At least when I see those big prints, that is what is going through my head. Taking myself into a land before time.

The tracks are near the beginning of the trail. So if you don’t feel like hiking the hike (which offers great views of the valley), you can just walk down the sand hill to check out the tracks.

You can find Dino Cliffs near St George.

Remember to always pack water with you!

Respecting and Preserving Nature:
Practice responsible exploration by respecting our land. Pack out what you pack in (don’t leave garbage!). Stick to the trails and only take photos and memories home with you.
