This was a neat area to explore. They dinosaur tracks had about a four foot stride. Must have been a large reptile! After checking out this area we spoke to a tour guide who told us about Fort Pearce. We saw the remains of the fort and walked along the rock wall to see the names and dates written in axle grease. The Honeymoon trail was named after the Mormon couples going to Utah from Arizona to marry in the temple. Between 1850-1900 timeframe.

On our trip from Lubbock to Las Vegas for the Marine Corps Ball we stayed in St George one night. The next day we spent some time trying to get in a little hiking after the long dry spell in Lubbock. Our first stop was at Sand Hollow Sand Dunes OHV park South of St George but other than the views from the park were not too interested in driving around in the Jeep through the dunes. Our next attempt at hiking would be at the Warner Valley Dinosaur Park. The Dinosaur tracks are about 9 miles in on Warner Valley dirt road (Drivable with any vehicle). Not much of a hike, about .25 miles to the tracks but we added a little by following the stream a little further. Back at the parking area we talked to a man that was a tour guide for a group of people and he gave us a brief history of Fort Pearce and the Honeymoon Trail. He recommended that we stop at Fort Pearce and head down the wash from the fort about .25 miles to see the Writing on the cliffs of the couples that travelled through here between 1850 to 1900 on their way from Arizona to St George to get married at the Mormon temple. Very interesting and a must stop if in this area. Not much hiking here about 1.4 miles and maybe 150 feet elevation gain if you count the number of times climbing in and out of the Jeep.

We kept our winter trip to the Arizona Strip and southern Utah at Blanco's pace. This was our first stop of a busy Sunday that included at stop at Fort Pearce, the Black Mountain Petroglyph site and Glitter Mountain.

The trail to the dinosaur tracks is easy to follow and in excellent condition. There is a signed kiosk at the trailhead and plenty of parking. There was another informational kiosk at the dinosaur tracks. Expect to hear ATVS and motorcycles while you are there, its a popular area for them, however, the site and trail to the site are fenced in and ATV access is not permitted. I thought the tracks were pretty nice and its worthy of a quick stop, if in the area.

If your in the area, it’s a nice add on trip. Some good footprints.
