Watch as we explore a seldom seen canyon trail that's off the beaten path. The video shows different rock formations formed by water and erosion over time. Makes for a great adventure hike during the fall for kids and adults of all ages. The hike is somewhat challenging for some people as it does require climbing up and down different rock formations in the canyon and creek beds. Glen Rose Texas and Dinosaur Valley have a lot to offer in the form of outdoor activities. Makes for a great outing for the entire family.
About me: I grew up in Dinosaur Valley State Park as my father was the park super-attendant for 30 years. I had the best childhood ever. I was so lucky to grow up in this beautiful state park. I explored every inch of it during my 17 years there. I will load other videos of the park as I take my own son back to show him different areas of the park that most do not realize are there. Hopefully it will help you as well as other viewers to plan their own adventures.
Other info about the park:
Long ago, dinosaurs left footprints in the mud at the edge of an ancient ocean. Today, you can walk in their tracks in the bed of the Paluxy River. This long trip to the past is just a short drive from Fort Worth.
Things to Do:
Find dinosaur tracks, camp, picnic, hike, mountain bike, swim and fish in the river, watch for wildlife, look for a geocache, ride your horse, or visit the interpretive center.
Stay at one of the regular or backpack campsites. Explore 20 miles of trails. Shop our park store for souvenirs, camping and fishing supplies, books and much more.
Discover dinosaur tracks: It’s easy to find dinosaur tracks in the park - just head to the river!
Dinosaur tracks are in the riverbed and are not always visible. Trails may be closed due to wet conditions or weather; please contact the park, or visit their Facebook page or Twitter feed, prior to arrival for current trail status and dinosaur track visibility.
Ride your horse: Bring your own horse to explore the 100-acre South Primitive Area. The river runs through this wooded, semi-rocky part of the park. No potable water is available; horses can drink from the river (bring your own bucket).
