This is pretty cool--the BLM is guiding groups of people (presumably today) to the dinosaur tracks recently found near Coral Pink Sand Dunes (the same ones Tanya, Bo, and Win visited (http://uutah.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9699)).
Here is the link: http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_7919559
Dinosaur lovers will have a chance to glimpse back 200 million years Saturday when the Bureau of Land Management conducts two free tours of recently discovered tracks in southern Utah.
BLM paleontologist Alan Titus will lead the expeditions to a prehistoric watering hole in Kane County, where several species of dinosaurs left thousands of tracks as they gathered to drink and eat.
Those interested are asked to meet at a staging area 3.5 miles west of the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park visitor station at 10 a.m. or at 1 p.m. BLM workers will organize trips to the site 1.5 miles from the staging area.
High-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles are required because of the deep sand. The route is narrow, and parking at the track site is limited so participants are being asked to carpool.
A hike of several hundred yards is required, so people should wear hiking shoes.
The mileages given in the article were specific enough, combined with a couple of pictures from Win and Bo, for me to finally figure out the location of the tracks. :naughty:
