Just a few miles west of Tuba City, Arizona on the Navajo Indian Reservation you will find a sign on the side of Route US 160 that advertises dinosaur tracks. While there is no actual admission for stopping to view the tracks, the Navajo guides will walk you around and show you all of the petrified artifacts while educating you about the historical significance that they have uncovered. They do this for a donation, so kindly tip them what you feel the short tour is worth. I've always had very friendly and knowledgeable guides and that is the reason I always stop while traveling on Route US 160.
If you stop and think about it, there is only a very small area of limestone that is exposed for viewing. If all of these dinosaur tracks and petrified artifact exist in this small area, what lies beneath the rest of the Arizona soil? It's mind boggling...
Next time you're traveling through Route US 160, stop and walk the foot steps where giant creatures once roamed millions of years in the past.
