During the mapping of the trail we found those dino tracks that are now signed - the BLM was worried about us driving over them so I filled them with blow sand to protect them. Later they came out and made a detour around them so you can still drive up the ridge to the mine. I thought it was funny they were concerned about us damaging tracks that were uncovered by a dozer, and had who knows how many loads of ore hauled over them.

(The dog paw is not prehistoric) I put a quarter above the track to help show the size. The 2nd pic is a set of tracks across the then mud flats now slick rock
