There are 160 million-year old dinosaur tracks along a riverbed in Moenkopi, AZ, 5 miles west of Tuba City.
Two Native American couples sit in their pickup truck waiting for visitors; then suggest "tips or donations." On the truck side is a spray-painted sheet that reads "Dinosaur Tracks." The tracks are spread over a couple of acres of mottled rock surface; some have been outlined in chalk in case you have trouble seeing them, or juxtaposed with small plastic toy dinosaurs.
Our guide, a native American with bloodshot eyes, kept asking us what country we were from.
Since our visit, the dino track tour business is flourishing, with more eager guides -- and even an opportunity to buy some Native American jewelry. Be warned: we've received a few reports of pressure by a few guides suggesting tips of $20 per person. This is an unofficial attraction, with no electricity, phones, buildings.
