Yep, that’s Warner Valley. It’s not too bad. I’ve pulled over in various areas a few times out there. The Fort Pierce area is nice. The wieners and I go to the dinosaur track area quite a bit. However, if you don’t have a 4X4 it’s not a good idea to try to get to those areas from St. George. There’s a sand dune area near the main road on the St. George-side and the winds pick up the sand and drift it across the roadway. It can get pretty deep. I’ve pulled a lot of people out of that sand. They don’t realize it’s about 4-feet deep in places and they think they can get their cars or 2-wheel drive pickups across no problem. Well, it becomes a problem real quick. Going from the Hurricane side presents no problems. The gravel road on that side is one of those groomed gravel roads. You can go 35-45 miles an hour on that road. Much easier on your equipment, too. You don’t bounce as much as when you plow through the dunes.

I used to observe at the new airport site - before it was the new airport. I have also observed from the old fort east of town, or the dino footprints east of that. I am not talking about the museum in town, I am talking about Fort Pierce, and the dino tracks farther east..

Warner Canyon, entering from Hurricane not through St. George, has a lot of promise. Many places to pull off and set up.
