Poison Spider Dinosaur Tracks

 

There are dinosaur tracks and fossils all over Moab. One of the easiest to access is the few tracks on a slab at the Poison Spider access off of Potash Road. They are visible from the parking area but the short steep hike up is worth it. You can stand right at the base of the slab and be eye to foot print!

The white color in the tracks is from people putting plaster in the track to make a cast. This is now against the law because not only is it unattractive, plaster seeps into the porous sandstone and when the cast is removed, it can take away part of the track.
Address: Poison Spider parking area Directions: From the center of Moab, drive north on 191. Just over the Colorado River look on the right for sign, Potash Road. Turn left and drive a few miles tot he entrance to Poison Spider on the right. Drive up the hill to the parking area.

Petroglyphs – Potash Road

 

Just north of Moab driving out on route 191, look for Potash Road just after the Colorado River. Turn left on Potash and about one mile down the road you will see cliffs right to the edge of the road. There may be some rock climbers there as well.  Many cars stop here. There are many to be seen. There is a pull off across the road. Be careful.
