Utah’s first human residents lived in cliff dwellings and caves. The Anasazi lived here as early as 1000 BC, and of course, dinosaurs roamed this land much earlier than that – as early as 225 million years ago. Luckily, Utahns have plenty of fossils, bones and artifacts that allow us to learn more about the rich history of the Beehive State. Take a look at this unique roadside attraction that lets you get up close to dinosaur tracks and Native American artifacts.
Travel along Route 89 just a few miles north of Kanab, and you can't miss this sign on the side of the road.
These pieces truly take you back to a time when native peoples worked and lived here. Archaeologists believe that the Anasazi used this cave for food storage as long ago as AD 500. The cave maintains a temperature of 60 degrees, year-round.
