Surrounded by the Amasa Back, Hurrah Pass, Anticline, and Dead Horse Point and with the Colorado River running alongside, you’ve discovered Base Camp. A one of a kind wilderness lodge.

If you got dinosaur tracks from millions of years ago, why do Kobae's tracks from a few months ago amaze you?

Because dinosaur tracks have a protection layer. The dinosaur steps in mud or a soft substance and soon, before the track can go away, another layer comes in and fills over the track thereby sealing it for millions of years. It takes the perfect combination of that time period of land to now have just happened to wear itself down at this point for us to be fortunate enough to see it. So while we just happen to be around when erosion gets back to that point roughly 180 million years ago when the track was made, it was sealed and kept in safekeeping by Mother Earth all this time. Kobae's tracks are left outside, to the elements of rain, snow, and wind. Wind especially should have filled those tracks in with fine grains of sand that exist on that beach, but it has not. Mother Earth worked to protect the dinosaur footprints yet Mother Nature works against protecting Kobae's footprints, yet they survive.
Because he is a special tort....
