Dinosaur tracks have been found on every continent of the world except Antarctica, but they’re still comparatively rare. Today we made the effort to see our first trackways (collection of two or more consecutive tracks) at Warner Valley Dinosaur Tracks Heritage site, near Hurricane, UT. We were really surprised by a couple of things. First of all, walking where dinosaurs have walked is a pretty cool experience we really enjoyed. Secondly, the heritage site, where these trace fossils were discovered is amazingly unrestricted. The tracks are at the end of a lightly trafficked dirt road and we had the whole area to ourselves! There is an information kiosk near the tracks, but no barriers or restrictions. We could literally walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs!
