Description

This is the formation directly across the road from the Dinosaur Trackway parking area. There is an upper and lower part of the formation. The lower part is darker red and mostly has offwidths and chimneys, and the upper section is lighter and has an array of different types of cracks and faces. A lot of the cracks top out through a short chimney because of the softer rock above. Nearly all of the potential routes are west facing and are anywhere from 30 foot tall to 100 foot tall. The rock is inconsistent with some cracks having amazing, bomber protection, while others are a bit softer and less bomber, but it is easy to tell what sections are what from the ground.

Getting There

Follow Hwy. 191 north out of Vernal for 10.2 miles. As you pass over Big Brush Creek you'll see the Roadside Formation on your right, the next PAVED road take a right. Follow this road for 2.2 miles to the parking area for the Dinosaur Trackways. The formation is directly across the road. For the lower formation follow the bike/hike trail marked JBOY to the north for 10 minutes or so until you end up at the north end of the formation. For the upper section follow JBOY for 15-20 feet then veer right up the loooooong slickrock slab to the base of the formation.
