Do you know the difference between a bird-hipped and a lizard-hipped dinosaur? Not me. However, both hip bones (and beyond) reside in Mill Canyon. One hundred fifty million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the swampy Moab area and left a trail of fossiled bones. It’s hard to picture the area as a bog with creatures that weighed 1.5 tons. Now, you barely see a lizard scooting around the dusty but majestic red rocks. Most people won’t have time to visit this trail, but it’s an easy and scenic hike, and you can feel like an adventuring paleontologist for a day. Follow my feet…
Old ruins and relics.
Click the boney photo collage to visit Mosaic Monday. Do you see the dinosaur bones? They’re the dark shapes embedded in the rock, and they’re everywhere.
Stay tuned for much more from Moab!
Stunning! What an exciting journey into our history

I love this kind of stuff.
Moab, here I come!! Maybe, if the wife will let me.
Great shots.
So interesting.
Hard to imagine the area as a marsh. The dino footprints intrigue me!! Looking forward to more from Moab.
This is quite interesting.
Worth a Thousand Words
What an interesting trail. I wonder why most people won’t go on it?
