The Raptor Point and Rim Walk trails are located at the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry about 30 miles south of Price, Utah. Both trails can be hiked together or the Raptor Point trail, which is the shorter of the 2, can be hiked by itself. The Raptor Point trail leads to a spot overlooking the quarry and Visitor Center while the Rim Walk trail continues along the edge of the mesa overlooking the entrance road. Both trails help to acquaint hikers with the geology of the area where dinosaur bones are found.
