Hello to all. In 1976, my folks rented an RV and we drove from Central California, to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Zion. I don't really have a lot of memories of the trip, but there was a place that we stopped at that I thought was in Utah and I thought was called Dinosaur Caverns. I recall going into like a mineshaft or cave via an elevator and taking a tour. Vague recollections of things the guide showed, but so vague that I won't try to impart what I saw.
I did an online search using the bits and pieces that I think I remember, but found nothing. Do any Fodorites have an idea where or what this might be? It could have been in Arizona or Nevada, but I think it was Utah. I'm super curious where it was, but I just don't know for sure. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I think what you are remebering is Moqui Cave (www.moquicave.com) on US Hwy 89, a few miles north of Kanab, UT. I have not been by there for years but for many years, It had a huge dinosaur figure in front to attract attention. The dinosaur may still be there. If memory serves, it is more a museum than a dinosaur attraction and is located in a large sandstone cave.

Thanks all for the tips; I will check each URL. If I had to guess, I would say it was Moqui Cave, as I know we were near Kanab. Perhaps the mystery has been solved!
