Potash Road Dinosaur Tracks and Petroglyphs — Attraction in Four Corners States

We only made it to the dino tracks halfway up. I went up first to scout, because we read mixed reviews about the difficulty and we had an almost 4-yr old and a toddler in a hiking backpack. I'm scared of heights and making it to the dino tracks was just pushing my comfort zone. There is a big drop with no guard rail. I didn't want to take my son up, but my husband is more confident and went for it. He said he wasn't nervous about the climb, and my son made it with only a little assistance and careful watching. He could have taken our toddler in the hiking backpack too, but we didn't.

There's no way we would have felt comfortable taking our kids up to the petroglyphs, but I saw 7-8 yr olds do it. Depends on your kids. You can see the petroglyphs without binoculars from the parking lot if you know where to look (& there are signs showing you where to look). I could even zoom in with my camera phone & get a blurry-ish pic. We had binoculars and got great views of the petroglyphs & the dino tracks that are higher up.

See my reference picture. Yellow circle is the slab with the dino tracks. Blue circle is the most prominent petroglyph of the people, but there are more along this wall. To the left of the blue circle is a slab with more...

Went a bit further up the trail to the rock face and there's some petroglyphs to take in as well. Always wanted to see dino tracks and was glad we made the quick journey over. Trail is pretty easy to follow as you can see the prints from the trail start. There's also some green markings to help guide if that's needed as well. One bummer was on the way down we did see some young kids with parents who all decided to touch the footprints. To help preserve for future generations I wish they'd maybe rope it off or at least put a sign up making hikers aware of the reasons not to...

So surprising! We took a short detour down Potash Road near Moab, and right by the side of the road are these huge stone cliffs. There's plenty of room to pull over, and there were plenty of people rock climbing. We parked past all the climbers, and started checking for petroglyphs. And they were everywhere on the cliffside! It was so cool, that you could just be out driving and be able to see that. It's a double-edged sword though, because that means there's no one to stop vandalism. I was saddened to see recent graffiti along with the petroglyphs, and I wonder if any of the rock climbers have inadvertently caused any damage. But it was still great to see, and I'm very...
