If one starts from Hyattville, it is a 32-mile scenic drive on "improved" gravel and dirt roads through the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. This road can be very unimproved in places so consider a 4-wheel drive, high clearance vehicle for your trip. In the following pictures we have entered this area off Hwy 14, this place is a moonscape in more ways than one.

This is a Theropod track made in the middle Jurassic period along the shore of the Sundance Sea. Imagine that!
Moonscape.

This show the length of a din stride compare to a human stride.
Another moonscape, this show the terrain around the tracksite as well as our moony friend.
