Located on a small ridge along the Buckhorn Wash road a dinosaur track can, with a little searching, be found near here. On the East side of the road is a ledge of sandstone about 10 to 15 feet above the road. There are several paths up to the ledge. Once on top of the ledge, look for a large flat area of bare sandstone at your feet. The footprint is on this large sandstone area, although you may have to move some flat rocks to uncover it. People often cover the track with rocks to help slow down erosion and prevent vandalism. Unfortunately this habit is also "sanding away" the edges of the track. If you need to uncover the track, lift the sandstone, do not slide it. Also, please DO NOT try to make a cast. Besides being illegal every attempt, even by professionals, damages the track to varying degrees, slowly destroying it. Dinosaur tracks are a vanishing resource of history and they are not making any more of them, certainly. Don't let selfish desires lessen a future generation's vacation.
