Open-air dinosaur tracks museum...

has been proposed north of Moab, Utah. The project, tentatively called "Moab Giants," is located at the turn-off to Dead Horse Point State Park and the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park.
"The proposal identifies a path winding through displays of casts of dinosaur tracks and replicas of animals from the early Jurassic through the late Cretaceous geologic periods. Participants would be allowed to “dig” for bone replicas."
The proposal has been tabled by the Grand County Planning and Zoning Commission, however, in order to give staff more time to review information provided by the applicant.

  1. Interesting concept.... Glad to hear that they want to limit the height of the dinosaurs to 24' to keep with the current county height restrictions!! Wonder what the admission charge would be? A 380-space parking lot sounds pretty darn big to me, but I guess those RV's on their way into Canyonlands need a place to park.
