The site features over 200 individual tracks from at least ten different species of dinosaurs, including theropods, sauropods, and ornithopods.
In addition to dinosaur tracks, the site also contains tracks from ancient crocodiles, providing a glimpse into the diverse ecosystem that existed millions of years ago.
Visitors can explore the trail at their own pace, using interpretive signs to learn about the various tracks and the creatures that made them.
These tracks are estimated to be around 112 million years old, offering a window into a time when dinosaurs roamed the area.
The tracks were first identified in 2009, making it a relatively new addition to the paleontological community's understanding of the region.
The tracks were preserved in what was once a muddy floodplain, which later turned into rock, capturing the footprints in stunning detail.
The trail is open to visitors throughout the year, although the best time to visit is during the cooler months of spring and fall.
