DinoTrack School Tours

During your DinoTracks school field trip, Insights’ tour guides will take your students on a two-mile hike through our 211 acres of fossilized dinosaur tracks and giant fossil beds from the Cretaceous Period.

A long time ago, the Chihuahuan Desert was actually very wet. Millennia of geological activity changed the environment, but we can still see the evidence of dinosaurs here today. Insights’ knowledgeable tour guides can cover a variety of topics associated with our DinoTracks. Please let us know if you would specifically like to learn more about animal tracking, dinosaurs, geology, paleontology, or other topics.

Tours usually last about four hours, so be sure to bring plenty of water, snack and sunscreen. As you will be hiking over moderate terrain for about three miles, you will need to wear comfortable closed toed shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.

DinoTracks Curriculum – Thanks to a generous grant from the El Paso Community Foundation, Insights has developed pre-tour and post-tour TEK-aligned lesson plans for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. DinoTrack curriculum blends ELA, Science, and Math topics to craft hands-on, engaging activities. All curriculum includes comprehensive background information, printable materials like graphic organizers, and Google Form STAAR-style short assessments.
