Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail

 

Located off Mill Canyon rd. This is an interpretive trail with signage of where to look for the fossils and a description of what type of dinosaur they belong two. There are several different types. Some are very easy to see and make out. Others not so much. It is clear they are different from the surrounding rock they are embedded in but you will only know the part of the body from the signage.  This area was a marsh land 150 million years ago. If a dinosaur died in this marsh, the bones with eventually seep in minerals within the water. These minerals solidified the bones over time which allows us to see them today.  A very easy trail that is looped back to the car by way of a dry wash. Can be contacted with the Mill Canyon Copper Mill site.
