Description
Find 160 million-year old dinosaur tracks along a riverbed at Moenavi Dinosaur Tracks. Visitors are greeted by two Native American couples sitting in their pickup truck waiting for visitors that they can guide through the tracks.
A spray-painted sheet that reads 'Dinosaur Tracks' can be found on the truck's side. The tracks are spread over a couple of acres of mottled rock surface, with a few outlined in chalk in case visitors have trouble seeing them, or juxtaposed with small plastic toy dinosaurs.
The touring business has supposedly been operating since 1956 with generations of guides and an an opportunity to buy some Native American jewelry.
However, it is important to note that there have been reports of pressure by some of the guides suggesting tips of $20 per person. Remember that this is an unofficial attraction, with no electricity, phones, nor buildings, and donations are purely on the visitor's discretion.

Nice 20 minute tour given by our guide Joe, he showed us around pointing out dinosaur footprints, bones and eggs. No cost, pay by donation, we donated $7. There is an opportunity to purchase jewellery at the end too.

A guide will approch you wile still in the car. Interesting tour but my guide wanted $20 for 15min afterwards. Told him that $10 is my maximum and he just walked away. Strange. But interesting place though.
