Elaine had been to Dinosaur Valley State Park a number of years ago but Anne, Janie, and I had never been there so we headed out one morning.
First thing you see when you head into the park is the two large statues near the park store. I should mention that Glen Rose has adopted dinosaurs as their mascot and you will see them everywhere in town.
Dinosaur State Park is a unique park dedicated to the dinosaur footprints left in the area.
Right near the front of the park there are dinosaur tracks on display
The Blue Hole
It was a bit too chilly for us to consider swimming but there were some people wading.
When the water is a little low, you can easily see the dinosaur tracks in the river. To get to that side you have to cross the river on some rocks that form a path of sorts. Unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of them because they were constantly in use. There was a large group of young children there as a school group. Must have been 30 of them. The ranger is using a fishing rod to point out the tracks in the river. The kids had tons of questions. Full credit to the teachers and parents who accompanied them. I would never have wanted to cross the rocks with all those kids.
We also checked out the campground and I thought I had pictures but I guess not as I was driving. I had hear comments that those with large RVs were better off staying in the private RV park which is located just before you get to the park. The campground is not large and the sites are not huge but I would have no trouble getting my 28' motorhome and car into many of the sites. There are lots of trees. Some sites are close together while others have better privacy. There were two family sites which were just three sites each that were close together. There are lots of trails for hiking, biking, or even horseback riding.
