This hidden gem in the desert is like stepping back into the Jurassic era. The dinosaur tracks are real fossilized footprints preserved right in the rock—you’re literally standing where dinosaurs once walked! Local Navajo guides are usually on-site and enthusiastically point out different types of tracks, explaining which ones might belong to T-Rex or Triceratops. It’s not a polished tourist site, but that raw, open-air setting adds to the authenticity of the experience. A must-visit for anyone interested in dinosaurs, geology, or off-the-beaten-path adventures.
We had an awesome tour guide - Jennifer Whiterock - who walked us out and showed us what was what and told us stories about the finds. We saw a lot of really cool things, and she encouraged us to touch the bones, stand on them, etc - there is no other place I have ever been or very likely will - who would let you do that. Our guide brought a water bottle to add water to the finds to make them more visible. She made sure we were okay to continue exploring in the heat when a member was falling behind. She is so sweet. Be respectful of where you are. This belongs to the Navajo, and they chose to share this with you. Do not take bones or stones. Leave the environment as you find it. Listen to the stories and learn. Our guide told us payment was up to us, that we could pay as we saw fit. We bought some jewelry from her as well. If you can't pay, it's fine. Obviously, if you can, please do. This is a treasure they are sharing. Let your children see the wonders, even if you can't afford it. This is a once in a lifetime experience.
There are an abundance of tracks, and they look really cool with the red dirt water in them. Our guide was Jennifer. She told us where to park and greeted us when we got out. Her guiding style was show and identify a track, then walk to the next one and wait for us to take our pics and catch up to her. One track she said was a brontosaurus, and knowing better, I can say that it was not. But didn’t comment to her about the error. About 200’ into the tour, she declared that she was too hot, and returned to the jewelry stands. It wasn’t very hot that day, and she had a sweatshirt on that she could have taken off. So the tracks were really neat, but the interaction with our guide was sorely lacking. We gave her a good tip anyway, just because.
Well worth the stop! Orlando Whitestone was my guide when I was there and was incredibly knowledgeable! I highly recommend accepting a tour from a guide; they’ll point out the best tracks, fossilized eggs, fossilized dung piles, and point out the ancient river beds. The guides work off donations, $10-20 is a good range to tip for their service.
What a cool thing to see. So random, at first you're wondering if you're going to the right place. Middle of nowhere, sign that says dinosaur tracks. You just pull in and drive up to where the Natives have their little jewelery huts. Donate what you want for them to give you a tour, because they know where all the best tracks are. Tip heavily, they deserve it. They stand out in the heat all day. If it was bought out by some company and made into an attraction, you'd be paying a lot. I appreciate it being in its natural state.
This place is amazing. Our guide, Helen, was knowledgeable and knew exactly where to look. The area used to be an ocean and evidence of marine animalia and fauna was visible. She didn't ask for money, but I tipped her $20 for her excellent service.
The site itself is very interesting and worth stopping to see — there are real dinosaur track fossils here. In particular, the large three-toed tracks found in this area are consistent with Dilophosaurus, a real early Jurassic theropod that lived in this region around 190 million years ago. That part is accurate and scientifically supported. However, just a note about the guided explanations: the guides here are local individuals, not trained paleontologists, and some of the information offered can be incorrect. For example, we were told that there were T. rex and Velociraptor footprints here, but that is not possible — those dinosaurs lived over 100 million years later, in much younger rock layers than the ones at this site. So those particular claims were not accurate. My recommendation: Enjoy the site for what it truly is — a rare chance to see authentic Dilophosaurus-era tracks in the open desert. Just take the spoken explanations with caution and look up the scientific details afterward if you’re curious. Overall: Great stop, real footprints, but verify the dino facts independently.
What a wonderful experience!!! Connie was an amazing host who is patient and vey thoughtful. She shared accurate accounts of the dinosaurs and beautiful expressions of her culture.

An AZ secret...absolutely stunning canyon with hoodoos in the middle of nowhere! Dirt roads to the site can be a bit rutted and bumpy, but an AWD car, SUV, or truck will have no problems. Be advised that there is next to nothing civilization-wise in the area and very few people, so be prepared prior to visiting. There are zero provisions, other than spectacular views and excellent hiking. Definitely worth the drive if you're in the eastern area of the Grand Canyon or Tuba City.
Road a bit rough. Beautiful views.
The best thing in AZ for beautiful views and zero people.
Beautiful pair of canyons in the middle of nowhere. Plug "Coal Mine Canyon" into your gps and you'll be taken to the entrance off of 264. You don't need a 4 wheel drive vehicle as it has been suggested, my Nissan Sentra was able to handle the drive perfectly.
Highly recommend! After reading others directions in the reviews, it was very easy to find. We had rented a mini van that was low to the ground and had no trouble getting right to the edge of the canyon. The views were remarkable! Only two other people there while we were there.
Love this place!! I hope that it stays a local secret. If you plan to go you MUST get a permit from the reservation. The canyon is on private property. I photographed an adventure anniversary session here in the summer!! Love this spot for an Arizona Elopement.
Very different terrain and great views. Colorful rocks. See if you can find the light blue rocks
Great little Canyon.

Free museum, accepting donations. They are open many more hours in the summer than in the winter and change their schedule every seaon. Start with a ten minute video depicting the Navajo origin story, then see the exhibits with information on Navajo history and culture.
Small but lots of information. Short film to start the tour then you can wander at your own pace .
This museum was created during the 2002 Olympic games to tell the world about the Navajo nation. What an incredible source of history and culture. I really enjoyed the video interviews of modern day Navajo. Thank you!
This museum is a great place to start on your visit to Tuba City. Is has some great displays and tons of information on the local tribes. I come here every time I visit Tuba City along with the Trading Post.
It's an okay museum, but I wouldn't recommend it much. It's quite small, unlike the name suggests, it's NOT interactive at all. The movie they played in the beginning was very low quality, however it did a good job explaining Navajo history.
A lovely little museum, that gives a deep look into Navajo culture. Well worth the entrance and visit.
Nice little museum. I enjoyed it. The cashier allowed us to go 5 minutes before closing time. Very kind. The materials inside are educational. This is a good place to start if you wish to learn about Navajo, Diné culture.
Small but very interesting museum, we learned a lot about Navajo culture and history. As a tourist, it really helps better understand the region and the people who inhabit it. Highly recommend.

Native american goods store
Shopping
Slide 1 of 8
Standing strong since 1875, the Tuba City Trading Post offers a unique blend of past and present. While the shop boasts a variety of Navajo-crafted souvenirs, its true gem is the mini museum dedicated to the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II. These brave men played a crucial role in Allied victory by using their language to create an unbreakable code. Their dedication and ingenuity helped change the course of the war.
Navajo jewelry, crafts, cookware, pottery, clothing, and souvenirs are available for purchase. Snacks and some traditional cookware supplies for those ceremonies. Different and many changes from last visit. Nice traditional music in the background, no option to purchase/no stock... Visit and enjoy the Navajo Code Talker presentation and museum nearby.
There was better representation of Navaho items along the road stands. To me (coma), the trading post was very comercial. Lots of goodies made in China. The scenery along the route is enjoyable. So...
Masks are required to enter. There is also a limit of how many people who can enter the store. This business sells Navajo and Hopi items. There is a small general store attached to this building.
Beware daylight savings! My phone was on Sedona time and I didn’t realise that Tuba is an hour ahead. So I drove all the way from Cameron only to find the museum and shop closed! Didn’t want to affect their ratings but also couldn’t leave this comment without giving star rating. But as I didn’t get to see anything except the super cool exterior and a few info boards this isn’t an official 4 star rating!
Nice store to buy some native American stuff and gifts. There is a wide variety of options, you will find anything that you can imagine in a gift shop. The staff was nice and helpful.
We have visited Tuba City many times and we never fail to visit the Trading Post. This place has some great souvenirs and gifts.. The information they provide too was also a great insight into the local tribes.
What a great shop and acceptabele prices. The shop has a great variety. Great place to buy rally good souveniers en original Navajo.
