Navajo Moenave Dinosaur Tracks

We made a special trip to go here and it was really cool. We bought a very simple bracelet for $20 which is obviously high, but it felt right to support the folks there. The tour was simply being directed to where the tracks were and as far as I could tell nearly completely lacking in any scientifically accurate information and fantastical fictions. It didn't really matter all that much because after five minutes we were encouraged to wander around, which was cool. If you look carefully there are lots of plant and small aquatic fossils. The coprolites (Dino poop) were surprisingly cool because you could clearly see the circular rings where the poop dropped into a pile much like a cow patty looks like. There was one rock that looked like it had claw marks which was cool to imagine whether or not it was in fact claw marks. Other rocks had clear textural patterns that reminded me of reptile skin, but could be dried mud. One final note, we were asked for a tip and was planning on giving the person who took us out there a generous one. I gave her $10 and was going to give her more when she asked for another $10. I did and was okay with that because she and the other two folks there frankly looked like they had extremely difficult lives and could use every penny.

Beautiful area to make a quick stop at. It’s free of charge to park and view. The dinosaur tracks are very cool to see. My husband and I took some time and walked around the area to take in all the scenery. It was disappointing to see how much broken glass was laying around everywhere. People should be more respectful of the land.

This was by far the most fascinating, stimulating such tour I have pursued. Kristen guided me through the entire rocky plain where the tracks and fossils were located, just steps from the parking area. She pointed out a mind-boggling assortment of items, as well as being expert on the geology of the area. Take a trip near Tuba City, only minutes east of 89, to see them. Thanks again Kristen. Take care!

This was supposed to be just a quick stop, but it is amazing all the tracks that can be found here! It is way better than anything you will find in a museum. You are approached when you park and asked if you want a tour. The tour is just based on tips so say yes and just tip what you think is appropriate afterwards. Plus, they let you just explore after showing you the highlights.

This location is free, but some tour guides require you paying them upfront in cash. We happened to stumble upon Helen who nicely greeted us as we pulled in. She didn’t demand money upfront and seemed to enjoy what she was doing. I highly suggest going around with her tour. She’s super sweet! She showed us around and talked about what print were from which dinosaur. She also sells some beautiful jewelry for $20. Cash only for everything. And make sure to tip!

Make sure you have cash on hand so you can tip (as they do not charge for a tour) and if you'd like to buy jewelry. I highly suggest you do both, as it is rude, in my opinion, not to do at least one or the other. Helen greeted us before we even parked! Haha She was great and I truly wish we had had more time but we had to get to our Antelope Canyon Tour! It was a last minute stop for us. See, my sister and I flew into Arizona and met in Tucson to do a 3.5 day roadtrip up to Page. She found this on the map as we were driving to Antelope Canyon. We had about 30 minutes to spare. Definitely not enough time! Maybe one day I'll be able to visit again and spend more time! Helen was from the area, but she does not do a lot of tours, so we were very, very lucky that we got to meet her and listen to her stories about the area, the San Francisco Mts, etc.

We stumbled across this place on our road trip and decided to stop. We were told we could walk freely or receive a tour. We chose to do a quick tour. We had a pleasant experience here. Our teens enjoyed it too!

This was an unbelievable experience! All sorts of dinosaur tracks fossilized in the rocks right next to the parking lot. This is Navajo land and there are Navajo guides there that will show you around. They ask for a donation which they certainly deserve. I highly recommend this stop!
