About Copper Ridge Dinosaur Tracks Interpretive Site

Embark on a fascinating journey through prehistoric Moab at the Copper Ridge Dinosaur Tracks Interpretive Site.

The Copper Ridge Dinosaur Tracks Hike showcases two distinct types of dinosaur tracks: the massive, circular prints of sauropods, potentially belonging to Camarasaurus or Diplodocus, and the sharp, three-toed tracks of theropods, perhaps Allosaurus. Keep an eye out for a particularly intriguing theropod track that appears to show a limp! As you explore this captivating site, remember to prepare for the desert environment. Pack plenty of water, wear sun protection, and be aware of the potential presence of rattlesnakes to ensure a safe and memorable experience.
