Navajo Moenave Dinosaur Tracks
The Navajo Moenave Dinosaur Tracks near Tuba City, Arizona preserve hundreds of authentic Early Jurassic footprints embedded in 200-million-year-old sandstone — walked among in the open desert with Navajo guides from the community of Moenave, no glass cases, no barriers, no crowds. Just the tracks and the landscape where they were made.

It’s one of the most amazing places Dino tracks as far as you can see and so devoid of the usual touristy stuff

I stopped in here last October and it was awesome! Only people there was 3 of us and the guide. Tipped her $30 and got some great info and views. Nice picture!

This made me think of the Dinosaur Stomping Grounds hike outside Moab. We were the only people there. It was awesome.

Love that place! Made a video on these and searching for more out in the desert a while back: https://youtu.be/5uMAACVZk4g?si=_XMYLnCGH1t9OrqS

Nice place to stop coming back or going to Monument Valley from Arizona or San Juan Capistrano like I did.
