My kids and I love visiting Dinosaur Valley State Park. There are many hiking trails that lead to different parts of a dry river bed, where footprints of various types of dinosaurs are preserved. It is amazing to look back at photos we've taken of several different dino footprints. To think that they have been preserved for so long! When you enter the park, be sure to visit the information center and get a map to find the best sites for viewing the footprints.
