About ten kilometres west of Tuba City, just off Highway 160, an unsigned dirt turnoff leads to one of the more accessible dinosaur trackways in North America. Hundreds of three-toed footprints of early Jurassic theropods — small, agile, bipedal hunters — are preserved in slabs of reddish Kayenta Formation sandstone, exposed across a flat area of perhaps a hectare.
The site is on Navajo land and is nominally free to visit, but a Navajo guide will materialise as you arrive, and a tip of five to ten dollars is expected and well-deserved — the guides know which tracks are authentic, can point out claw marks and tail drags, and sell decent jewellery on a folding table at the trailhead. Bring water and sun protection; there is no shade. The whole stop takes about thirty minutes and is an easy combine with a drive to or from the Grand Canyon's east rim.
