Awesome place with incredible views of the red rock cliffs. The hike is pretty easy and fairly level. Its okay for kids and elderly. Not a ton of tracks but still worth the walk and drive. Find all the info about the trail there at Trailsoffroad.com

Best to have off road or 4 wheel drive auto. Mind blowing to be walking among Dino tracks. Its crazy to think we were where dinosaurs once traveled.

The best dino tracks in the valley. Please respect the site. Take only photos.

One of the best places in the area for quick access. All by itself and a short walk into a wash on a desert path. This was out of the way but the airport road and st george expansion has taken a toll on the site. People rock hunting and smashing surrounding rocks and circling tracks with stones are a downer lately. Check it out

Fun little day trip to ride the razors out to. Pretty simple and easy to get to. It was fun picking out all the tracks around there in the small creek bed. It is a small hike down to the tracks so just make sure to wear good shoes. Seems to be a pretty well taken care of area and the tracks are well preserved. We will probably visit from time to time as this area has lots of trails and areas to ride razors, dirt bikes, and atvs

Our van made it out fine on the dirt road. It was beautiful scenery. The footprints are a very short walk from the parking lot, easy to see, and this place is free. Go early in the morning though since there is no shade.

Interesting to learn and read about the area. 9 miles of dirt road and a very short walk.

It was a long drive on a dirt road to get there. We saw several wild animals. It was a short hike from the trail head. It was great to see three different dinosaur tracks. We also saw track of animals native to the area.

The road to get out there is a bit rough, but the hike to the tracks from the trailhead is a very short distance. It was exciting to see actual dinosaur tracks. We hiked past the track area for a bit, but there wasnt much more than pretty scenery to be found.

This was a fun little place to bring the kids. It was quite a ways out there and have to take a dirt road which can be difficult with anything but a 4-wheel drive vehicle if it has rained at all. If it has been dry then you could make it in a sedan just fine. I was surprised to see that the tracks are not protected. You can walk all over them which means over time these tracks will be damaged. If your kids like dinosaurs then they will have fun out there.

We read the reviews and were kinda surprised how easy it was to get there in a Nissa Sentra. Whoever said you need a 4 wheel drive is full of it! It’s just a dusty dirt road with lots of ATV & dirt bikes man up and go see this beautiful hidden treasure of dinosaur tracks. Google map will guide you and signs are very visible. Well worth the trek out there!

Cool Dino track site with a short walk. Hot and exposed. Zero shade so bring water and a hat

Review №15

Short hike with open views of the South border of Utah. Dinosaur tracks were interesting to see, and an information display to learn more about it. The road to the trailhead is after 8 miles of sand and rock but can be accessed by most cars except when it rained. High ATV traffic there as well so drive carefully.

Nice easy hike to see tracks.

The tracks in this area can be reached by a dirt road from the Warner Valley exit off the Southern Parkway. The hike is less than a half mile and there is an interpretive sign explaining the tracks and the area. There are three different types of dinosaur tracks in this once wetland area. The scenery around the tracks is stunning with the red cliffs and colorful hills. Please be careful when visiting and help to preserve this site for future generations.

Be aware that its a bumpy dirt road you drive to get there. A few nice tracks. Make a day of it and visit Fort Pearce, too.

So cool to see something so old! Out in the middle of nowhere and no other people were around! Beautiful and peaceful.

Review №26

A fascinating place with lots of tracks, an information kiosk, and beautiful surroundings, unspoiled by development. I didnt even know this place existed until I was exploring BLM lands South of St George. The gravel and dirt road to this place is navigable in good weather (I found it in my 2wd Tundra pickup) - just take the Werner Valley exit off Southern Pkwy (SR 7) and head SOUTH toward Arizona. Fort Pearce is also in this area, about 2 mi away.

Super cool, definitely good dino tracks. Wasnt able to use dirt road in Prius, but would be no problem for something with more clearance. We walked 1.5 miles or so down the road.

Drive to the middle of nowhere to see some great tracks. Peaceful and quiet. Road is suitable for a minivan but be sure to watch out for ATVs and dirt bikes.

What a beautiful area and a once in a lifetime ride with the quads to an actual dinosaur track in the rock, WOW!

Review №35

Wow! A must see. The recent rains have covered some tracks up. I wish I was a local so I may volunteer my free time clearing the tracks up. Beautiful out in the natural terrain tracks. Dilophosorus and megapasourus

Review №36

In have taken people to this site on several occasions and think it is very neat. The prints are clearly visible and there are quite a lot of them. It is fence but otherwise little regulated. You can walk right in the area where the tracks are located. Quite popular.

Review №37

Its kind of out there, there are some very clear tracks and a map that shows the location of many more tracks, a lot of which I couldnt find. You dont need 4 wheel drive or anything but be careful which vehicle you chose to make the journey in. Cell phone coverage isnt great, its a dirt road, not many people around. If youre feeling a little adventurous I say try it out, otherwise dont make a special trip.

A great site to visit. Easy to get to by car. The walk from the parking lot to the site is easy, but, if one has difficulty walking then the incline would take a little effort to get over.The information panel is adequate. Over 400 tracks have been identified. However, one would have to have a keen eye to find even 30. Amazing to realize this site was discovered in 1982. I wondered what was the guy doing when he discovered the tracks as Warner Valley is a very long and broad valley.Before reaching the track site there is the Fort Pearce Heritage Site to visit.

It is a short walk to the dinosaur tracks from where you park the car. Most of the tracks are congregated into one area and there is a sign that shows where they all are. It was fun for the kids to see. Leave the stroller in the car.

Not tough driving at all, but you can see so many dinosaur footprints. Some are very clear

A fine experience in and of itself, but you have to drive 30 minutes through bumpy, rocky dirt roads to get to it. A bit let down, to be honest, but may be someone elses cup of tea!

Some local friends from Utah took us here, a place we didnt know about. It was a neat place to visit and see. There is an area that is enclosed where you can see different dinosaur tracks in the ground.
