About this spot

Parowan Gap Dinosaur Track Site

The Parowan Gap Dinosaur Track Site, located in the Escalante Desert watershed of Utah, is a popular destination for visitors interested in ancient history. This area is home to one of the best-preserved dinosaur track sites in North America, containing well-preserved tracks of various dinosaurs such as the Dilophosaurus and the Grallator. The tracks are believed to be over 200 million years old and were created during the Early Jurassic period when this area was covered by a shallow sea. The site is also known for its rock art, including petroglyphs and pictographs, created by the Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan peoples who inhabited the region thousands of years ago.

One of the main reasons to visit the Parowan Gap Dinosaur Track Site is to see the well-preserved dinosaur tracks that are a unique feature of the area. Visitors can also hike the Parowan Gap Petroglyphs Trail, which takes them through the ancient art created by the Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan people. The site offers visitors a chance to gain a deeper understanding of the geological and cultural history of the region. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Escalante Desert watershed, which offers picturesque views of sandstone cliffs and panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
