Dinosaur Bones and Tracks - Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail, Moab, Utah
The Mill Canyon site preserves two sites associated with dinosaurs of the late Jurassic and early Cretaceous periods.
The Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail itself is a short trail that follows the side of a small bluff past several exposed petrified bones from various types of dinosaurs. Visitors on this trail will also see some petrified wood and the ruins of an old copper mill. The Desolation Towers rock formation can be seen in the distance.
Nearby is the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trackways site, an exposed section of petrified muddy lakeshore that features dozens of dinosaur and crocodile tracks. Although the tracks suggest specific types of dinosaurs - including a large meat-eating dinosaur for which no bones have ever been found - the specific species of dinosaurs are unknown.
Both sites are accessed off Highway 191 north of Moab, but the dirt and sand road to the bones site should be avoided when wet.
Please don't touch the bones or step on the tracks so that future visitors can also enjoy the experience.

Science Friday: Utah Dino Bones, Salt Lake Migrations, Tree Canopies - Part 1
If you stood in southeastern Utah over 200 million years ago, you’d be overlooking the ocean. The landlocked state wasn’t quite the same landscape of scarlet plateaus and canyons you might see today, but a coastal desert where sand dunes butted up right against the sea. And it was home to some of the earliest dinosaurs. In this region of Utah, today known as Indian Creek in Bears Ears National Monument, the remains of dinosaur relatives, known as protodinosaurs or “dinosaur aunts and uncles,” are buried in the Earth. Their bones tell the stories about the dawn of dinosaurs, prehistoric Utah, and a much warmer Earth. In the northern reaches of Utah’s Great Salt Lake sits Gunnison Island, a narrow strip of land just a mile long and half a mile wide. Despite its small size, the island hosts the world’s second largest white pelican rookery, with an average of 20,000 birds and 6,000 nests. Biologist Jaimi Butler of Westminster College’s Great Salt Lake Institute calls the birds the “polar bears” of Great Salt Lake—because as lake waters drop, the birds’ island refuge is now threatened by humans, coyotes, and other predators. Butler and her team have installed cameras on the island, and citizen scientists can now use these “PELIcam” images to help Butler and her colleagues catalog the white pelican population on the island—and the appearance of predators, too. Forest ecologist Nalini Nadkarni pioneered the exploration of tree canopies—the “new frontiers” of the forest, using hot air balloons, rock climbing gear, and cranes. There, high in the trees, she found soil coating the branches, much like the soil on the forest floor—and unique adaptations, like the water-gathering abilities of spiky bromeliads. In this segment, recorded live at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, Nadkarni takes Ira on a tour of the forest canopy, talks about how fashion can be a tool for science communication, and describes her work communicating science to underserved populations, like inmates in prisons around the nation—from minimum security to Supermax.
