Wooly Mammoth tracks in the Arizona Desert.



We hiked to a location where wooly mammoth tracks are fossilized into the wash.

I didn’t do much research, most of the websites I looked at were other explorers etc, so I didn’t bother to include the links. The University of Arizona is said to have been out here and removed some of the prints; I can’t confirm that. If it true, I’m sure the museum/library there, as well as their website would likely have more information. For us, it was just a fun little hike in a year when life isn’t really allowing us to do much hiking.

Directions:

If you head north from Benson/Pomerene, the gate is on the right hand side right after mile post 20 or 21. I’m fairly certain it’s mile post 20, but keep a lookout for the sign to the bird sanctuary (pic in video slideshow), if you pass that, you passed the gate as it is right before the sign.

You can drive all the way to the prints, just follow all the other tracks, they lead right to them.

Gate: 32°16’2.52″N 110°20’27.24″W
Tracks: 32°17’21.54″N 110°18’37.62″W

  1. I believe that mammoth's were used as domestic beasts of burden. It would explain the megalithic walls and structures. With there tusks and trunks they could lift a lot . In other podcasts I have seen videos of huge piles of mammoth bones.
