Preserved dinosaur tracks at the Carl Hayden Visitor Center

The display read:

Dinosaur Tracks

The imprints were made by a one ton, twenty foot
long, meat-eating dinosaur. The slab of sandstone
came from a nearby side canyon.

When Dilophosaurus tracked through the silt 170
million years ago, this was a different landscape.
Shallow streams meandered across a marshy plain.

Throughout Glen Canyon the red-orange layer of
Kayenta Sandstone appears - a lost world turned
to stone, then river-cut and weathered into view.
