Cool Quick Stop
Super cool stop along rt 5! We hopped off. Rt 91 South and jumped on the 5– where we came to the signs for dinosaur feet print right along the road. The address wasn’t as far down rt 5 as the gps wanted to take us. Small parking lot on the left of the road going south. Only about 100 feet down an easy hill you come to the flat sandstone and start looking! They were fun to search for and easy to find. Amazing that his is right off the road with no preservation or change to get in. Completely free. There are some signs explaining the feetprint and even a paper guide to show you the trail. Walk down the hill further and you come to train tracks and a lovely view of the river with some beautiful rock formations. Plan to spend 10-30 minutes depending on how long you want to hang. Perfect spot for kids that love Dinos and adults, like us, that love them too!

A nice stop
We took the kids to see this free place. It's really neat.... take a little walk and then you're able to see the dinosaur footprints in the stone. Very different and very nice.
