Located among the red slickrock formations referred to as the battleships, the Dinosaur Trackway trailhead provides access to __ miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. The popular Dinosaur Trackway Trail heads south from this trailhead and enters Red Fleet State Park where dinosaur tracks can be viewed in slick rock. Please respect these tracks by not touching, or disturbing them in anyway. From spring to fall, hikers should be prepared with at least three 16 ounce water bottles per person for a half day hike. Amenities include a toilet and parking area.

Getting there

From Vernal, drive approximately 8 miles north on Highway 191. Just after passing over Big Brush Creek, turn right (East) onto Donkey Flat Road. Continue for approximately 2.5 miles to the Dinosaur Trackway Trailhead.
