Potash Road Dinosaur Tracks and Petroglyphs, Archaeological site with dinosaur tracks and petroglyphs near Moab, Utah.
The site features ancient footprints preserved on a tilted sandstone face alongside Native American rock art panels above the Colorado River.
The dinosaur tracks were imprinted approximately 190 million years ago when the region consisted of a sandy lake shoreline during the Jurassic period.
The petroglyphs represent different indigenous periods, from Fremont people's geometric patterns to later Ute illustrations of mounted hunters after 1500.
Visitors can access the site through a 0.2-mile round trip hike from the Poison Spider Mesa trailhead, requiring some rock scrambling to reach the formations.
The location displays Allosaurus footprints that transformed from impressions in mud to permanent marks in sandstone through geological processes spanning millions of years.
