Mill Canyon Dinosaur Bone and Track Interpretive Sites

Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite

The Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite is an Early Cretaceous (approximately 112 million years ago) dinosaur tracksite located north of Moab in Grand County, Utah. First reported in 2009, the site contains over 200 tracks and traces representing at least ten different types of animals, including nonavian theropods, sauropods, ornithopods, ankylosaurs, birds, and crocodiles. These well-preserved trace fossils preserve the movements and activities of a unique and diverse Mesozoic fauna.

The site is a short walk from the parking area at the Courthouse Rock Campground. Road is accessible by most vehicles. Learn more from the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite brochure.

Please visit the site respectfully by staying on the boardwalk, leaving what you find, and respecting the fossil resources.

Mill Canyon Dinosaur Bone Trail

For more dinosaur fun, visitors can continue up the road to the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Bone Trail, which features fossilized bones of several species, including Allosaurus and Camarasaurus. There is a short self-guided walk with interpretive signs highlighting the species and which bones visitors are observing. Reminder, do not attempt to remove any objects from the site and please, stay on the trail.
