One mile after the Navajo Sandstone sign on the side of the road after entering Buckhorn Draw, there is a pull-out on the right. Park there and cross the road and scramble up the sandstone ledge there. On top and to the left a circle of stones will surround a three-toed track left by an ornithopod dinosaur that crossed the sand dune desert that became the Navajo Sandstone over 180 million years ago. Please take only pictures and leave the circle of stones.

Getting there

The Buckhorn Dino Track is approximately 15 miles from Castle Dale, UT down Buckhorn Draw. Please contact the Price Field Office for driving directions
