Join a fan-filled expedition to modern museums and national parks to track down evidence of the dinosaurs that once inhabited the American Southwest. This sourcebook for scientific discovery is full of incredible facts and compelling data on many of the dinosaur species whose fossils and footprints you can encounter in Arizona and New Mexico. Desert Dinosaurs offers readers insights, observations, and spirited examinations of the natural world in an engaging style that will make you laugh and make you want to learn more. This book is a great way for amateur paleontologists to don a pith helmet, grab an imaginary shovel, and set out across Arizona and New Mexico.

Walk where dinosaurs walked, see (and sometimes touch) skeletons and fossils of some of the most incredible beasts of all time, and learn about an amazing land at an amazing time in its history. From dinosaur tracks in northeastern New Mexico to terrific small museums, from the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest National Park to the Ghost Ranch, get ready for a voyage of discovery and fun that's perfect for all ages.
