there are over 180 dinosaur tracks, most of which were found within a 10-15 mile radius of Moqui Cave. All have been classified by world-renowned Paleontologist, Jim Jenson. (estimated to be over 140 million years old of Jurassic age)
FYI As the white sandstone, which is covered by a reddish sandstone layer, is rather soft it is subject to erosion. The official story is that the cave was formed by the river erosion and is rather old, at least 10,000 years when the last cold age ended and there was much more rainfall and melting water creating many of the erosional forms we see today. There is little information about the history of the cave and it is likely the cave was extended when the speakeasy was established. It may have been extended again in the 1950s for the bar.
