	Johnson Farm Dinosaur Track Site
	The tracks were found on the underside of the bedrock. Instead of an imprint, the track was in the form of a cast. At first sight Dr. Johnson thought that the dinosaur was imbedded in the rock and only it’s foot was exposed. He then proceeded to turn over another slab of rock and noticed an imprint in the sand beneath the cast in the rock. The track casts turned out to be over two hundred million years old and were made by dinosaurs stepping in 8 inches of moist clay. The footprints left in the clay were eventually filled in with sand, which in time turned into the rock that we now see. When the stones are turned upside down we see the underside of a dinosaur’s footprint.
	St. George Historic District
	One of the first things that Brigham Young did while settling the Salt Lake Valley was to send out families to explore and build up the areas in the Utah Territory. In the late 1850’s Jacob Hamblin helped establish the community now known as Santa Clara along the banks of the Santa Clara River near St. George, Utah. The mild winter climate of St. George lured Brigham Young to spend his winters in St. George. His home is now open every day for tours. One of the first buildings constructed was the Tabernacle building (seen here) which continues to serve today as a gathering place for many events and performances. The first Mormon Temple west of the Mississippi was constructed in St. George. Even Jacob Hamblin’s home still exists and is also open for tours on a daily basis. The historic district of St. George is just one of the things you’ll enjoy about this area of southern Utah.
