If you’ve ever wanted to see a dinosaur fossil, the short Diane Gabriel Hadrosaur loop trail in Makoshika State Park is for you! The trail winds along the rim of a small coulee before dropping down, crossing the coulee bottom, and heading past exposed sandstone formations toward a small grassland. Here, you’ll spot the main attraction: the fossilized impression of Hadrosaur vertebrae! Look closely, but be careful not to touch. From the fossil, keep following the trail through the “natural air conditioning” - read the interpretive sign for details - and back to the trailhead.
