Navajo Moenave Dinosaur Tracks

This hidden gem in the desert is like stepping back into the Jurassic era. The dinosaur tracks are real fossilized footprints preserved right in the rock—you’re literally standing where dinosaurs once walked! Local Navajo guides are usually on-site and enthusiastically point out different types of tracks, explaining which ones might belong to T-Rex or Triceratops. It’s not a polished tourist site, but that raw, open-air setting adds to the authenticity of the experience. A must-visit for anyone interested in dinosaurs, geology, or off-the-beaten-path adventures.

Such an experience. Such an emotional connection to history. You are walking where dinosaurs walked. It's amazing. The tour guides offer generations of experience from a life of living on that land. (The guides enjoy hugs) It's a donation based tour...they also sell homemade trinkets which were excellent craftsmanship. Would definitely recommend to all ages!!!

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 tour was free! I had a tour with Dale Willy and he was so sweet and had a lot of cool dinosaurs facts!! I’d definitely recommend to others!! Trace fossils are pretty interesting! There were also cool things to purchase that were handmade as well as dinosaur toys that you could buy!!

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 place is truly special and one of a kind. As soon as we arrived, our guide welcomed us and shared a unique story about the fossils, the Navajo culture, and so much more. It’s not just a visit — it feels like stepping into another time. Walking among the dinosaur footprints, seeing remnants and even bones, is something you simply cannot experience anywhere else. The site should be officially recognized because of its uniqueness — it truly deserves that recognition. Our guide, Tabaaha, was exceptional: she never asked for anything in return and spoke with genuine love and passion for her land and heritage. That energy made the visit feel magical. We decided to leave a tip and also bought a handcrafted necklace made by her and her mother. It was more than just a tour; it was a connection to history, culture, and humanity. If you have the chance to come here, don’t miss it — it’s a rare and unforgettable place.

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.
