Traveling to Northeastern Utah is a great experience with a lot of wonderful things to see and do. Guided hiking tours are an excellent way to see some of the sites in the region. Our hikes depart daily either in the morning or late afternoon/early evening. A typical hiking tour is 4 to 5 hours round trip. The guide will bring along extra water, snacks, a first aid kit and have a wealth of knowledge to share. You will want to bring along a water bottle, camera, light rain jacket (just in case), wear appropriate shoes for hiking and clothing for the weather conditions.
Out two most popular hikes is the Dinosaur Trackway located at Red Fleet State Park and the McConkie Ranch Rock Art Site. Both hikes are intermediate in physical ability and beginner in technical hiking. Along either hike you will see great geology, plant life, birds and animals.
The McConkie Ranch site is one of the finest Native American rock art sites in Utah. Some of these ancient drawings are well over 1000 years old, left behind from the Fremont culture. This site has been featured in National Geographic for its incredible quality and quanitiy of petroglyphs and pictorgraphs.
The Dinosaur Trackway leads you through a beautiful slick rock landscape to the edge of Red Fleet Reservoir. When you arrive at the edge of the lake you will find over a 100 fossilized dinosaur footprints along the shore left in what was once a large mud flat. On this hike I would bring your swimsuit, it is always fun to take a dip in the lake while enjoying the incredible scenery.
All of the hikes we offer are family freindly and great for anyone who likes to get out of the car and explore what Utah has to offer.
