What To See And Do: The Copper Ridge site features the tracks of a brontosaurus and four three-toed dinosaurs.
The many different kinds and sizes of dinosaur tracks make Copper Ridge unique. The preservation of the tracks is fantastic, and this site is well worth a visit. There are sauropod tracks made by a brontosaur (probably a Camarasaurus, Apatosaurus or Diplodocus), as well as Allosaurus and small mammal tracks, all dating back to the Jurassic period. The BLM has placed interpretive signs in the area, and parking is less than 100 yards from the site.
How To Get There: If arriving from the north on I-70, turn south on State Highway 191 at Crescent Junction. Travel about 8 miles on Highway 191 until you spot mile post 148.7, and turn east. If arriving from the South, the turn-off is 23 miles north of Moab on Highway 191. Turn east at mile post 148.7. From there, follow the signs.
