Tour Overview

Cruise off the beaten path by UTV (utility terrain vehicle) to explore the Hell’s Revenge Trail on a 2.5 – 3.0 hour off-road adventure from Moab. With an experienced guide leading the way, you’ll navigate a Kawasaki Teryx 4 — a 4×4 vehicle equipped for traversing sandstone domes and slickrock ledges. The Hell’s Revenge Trail combines the thrill of steep climbs and descents with views of La Sal Mountains, Abyss Canyon, and the mighty Colorado River. Travel in a small group of up to four vehicles with a maximum of four people per vehicle.

What You Can Expect

  • Meet your small group at your chosen departure time and hop into your 4-seater Kawasaki Teryx 4. After a safety briefing, slip behind the wheel (21 yrs. of age or older and valid drivers license) or take one of the passenger seats. Within 15 minutes of Moab, you are at the Hell’s Revenge Trail, full of steep ridges and roller-coaster terrain. Follow your experienced guide along a thrilling route that takes you crawling up a rock incline called the Devil’s Backbone. Hold on as your 4×4 jostles along the slickrock, formed from Navajo sandstone, before you descend into a low point in the narrow canyon, named Lake Michigan for the water that pools from rainfall.
  • Next, make a brief stop at the fossilized dinosaur tracks near Lion’s Back before you proceed to Echo Canyon, also known as Abyss Canyon. Here, take in the views of towering sandstone cliffs above an oasis of cottonwood and willow trees.
  • Get a look at Abyss Canyon before continuing off the beaten path to an overlook for dramatic views of the mighty Colorado River. On your way back to Moab, soak up more stunning vistas of the La Sal Mountains.

Suzdal and Vladimir tour

Suzdal is one of the most visited "Golden Ring" Russian town. Being a powerful city in the past, it preserves the layout and the spirit of a typical old Russian town.

Suzdal used to be one of the major cities of Medieval Russia and it has survived in virtually its original form. There are no modern tower blocks there, instead the center features vast flowering meadows and a river. It is the perfect place for taking photos, tasting traditional food, drinking mead or just breathing fresh air. There is a big choice of hotels in the town - from low-budget hostels to four-star hotels (which are still very inexpensive, compared to Moscow and other European capitals). The main highlights of a visit to Suzdal are:

Suzdal's Kremlin with its Cathedral for the 13th century

The Saviour Monastery of Saint Euphymius with its impressive fortress-like walls, picturesque location and colourful murals.

The Museum of Wooden Architecture , where you can take a look inside restored peasant houses.

... and the town itself with its numerous churches, wooden houses, hills and river.

Suzdal is a centre of mead production. Mead is a low-alcoholic drink made with honey and is one of the oldest kinds of beverage in the world. There is also a pottery in the town, and souvenir-hunters can buy woolen shawls, nesting dolls and wood and ceramic knick-knacks at reasonable prices.

Car or minivan transfer from Moscow to Suzdal and back is also an option. It takes 3-4 hours one way.

Best Dinosaur Attractions in Canada

Royal tyrrell museum of palaeontology, drumheller, alberta.

The  Royal Tyrrell Museum  is the only museum in Canada dedicated exclusively to the science of Palaeontology. It’s also home to one of the largest displays of dinosaurs in the entire world! Visiting is like being transported millions of years into the past. Massive detailed exhibits bring the museums 40 full dinosaur skeletons to life. You can inspect over 100,000 specimens of fossilised remains!

The coolest thing about visiting is the number of hands-on activities there are for kids. There is a huge variety of interactive games throughout the displays inside and visitors can explore outside too! This amazing dinosaur museum offers programs like a real dig experience out in the field. Kids can get their hands in the dirt participating in the archaeological process. Also, there are organised hikes to search for fossils, fossil-casting classes, and various crafts and projects aimed at exciting and educating all ages. (The feature image above is the Albertosaurus at the Royal Tyrrell)

Dinosaur Provincial Park, Southern Alberta – A UNESCO World Heritage Site

Dinosaur Provincial Park  is located deep in the heart of the Alberta Badlands. The arid landscape stretches over 20,000 ruggedly unforgiving acres. Defined by its strange looking rock formations called Hoodoos, the terrain is absolutely surreal. When we visited we felt like we’d arrived on another planet! Aptly named, the park is home to one of the richest caches of dino bones in the world.

The remains of 40 different kinds of dinosaur species have been unearthed in the area! Deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, Dinosaur Provincial Park is truly a prehistoric treasure trove! There is a chance for discovery around every corner. We were amazed by the abundance of fossils and unusual wildlife in the area. Mule and whitetail deer, cottontail rabbits, a variety of snakes, and over 160 different species of birds live in the in the park. Coyotes are more often heard than seen and if you’re lucky you’ll spot pronghorn antelope sprinting across the vast prairie.

Families can explore independently or participate in an organised activity like an authentic dinosaur dig! There is a visitor’s centre, restaurant, and campground on site. Various guided tours run throughout the summer months (June to the end of September).

Best Dinosaur Attractions in Australia

Australia’s dinosaur trail – winton, richmond, and hughenden, queensland.

dinosaur museum in australia

For the avid dinosaur lover, a road trip into the Queensland outback is a must. Australia’s Dinosaur Trail will take you on a unique self-drive adventure through the towns of Winton, Richmond and Hughenden where you can discover world-class fossils. The small town of Winton houses the world’s biggest collection of Australia’s largest dinosaur fossils, at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum. You’ll also find life-sized bronze dinosaurs at Dinosaur Canyon.

Just over an hour away you can explore the Dinosaur Stampede National Monument at Lark Quarry Conservation Park which is the only place on the planet with known evidence of a dinosaur stampede.

Next, it’s on to Hughenden to visit ‘Hughie’ a Muttaburrasaurus at the Flinders Discovery Centre. You’ll also get to see the Porcupine Gorge Light and Sound Show and the fossil exhibition. Keep an eye out for the dinosaur metal sculptures designed and made by local artists.

It’s hard to believe that you’d find Australia’s premier marine fossil collection 400km from the nearest ocean but Richmond houses this amazing collection that originated from the Great Inland Sea that existed 110 million years ago at Kronosaurus Korner. While you’re there, the kids will love having a go at finding their own fossil at one of the free fossicking sites.

Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum, Bathurst, Victoria

Country Australia has many hidden wonders waiting for the adventurous traveller to uncover. We love to pack the car, fill the tank and head off on road trips to explore a little of this inland marvels.

On our last trip to Bathurst we discovered the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum in Bathurst which boasts the Somerville collection (a huge collection amassed by Professor Warren Somerville AM and donated to the museum) and Australia’s only Tyrannosaurus Rex on display.

Whilst this dinosaur museum is small by international standards, the fossil gallery is certain to amaze your kids and kick-start their curiosity about the origins of dinosaurs. They’ll find dinosaur eggs, amber-encased fossils, opalised fossils and so much more. The kids can try their skill at taking fossil rubbings and stand next to the T-Rex too. They can even hold a dinosaur tooth in the palm of their hand.

Dinosaur footprints, Gantheaume Point, Broome, Western Australia 

Now this is a dinosaur day out with a difference.

A very special event happens in Broome, but only at very low tide. When the tide drops below 2.16m at the picturesque Gantheaume Point, you can scramble down the cliff front to stand in dinosaur footprints. Estimates vary between 120-130 million years old for these incredible dinosaur prints, yet they’ve stood the test of time against the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean.

If you don’t make it at low tide they have a cast of one of the footprints in the car park but nothing beats standing in the real thing!!

Best Dinosaur Attractions in the USA

Moab giants dinosaur park, moab, utah.

A welcome addition to the dinosaur attraction scene in the USA is Moab Giants , the newest dinosaur park in Utah. Take a walk with around 100 state-of-the-art, life-size dinosaurs that once roamed the area. Surrounded by breathtaking landscape, you’re going to want to take some photos with the dinosaurs as you wander around. If it’s hot, make sure you have water on you.

Once you’ve finished on the dinosaur trail, head inside the 5D prehistoric virtual aquarium to explore the amazing and sometimes terrifying dinosaurs of the deep. The last of the five aquariums can be too frightening for some kids but they will let you out before you get to it.

Make sure you also check out the 3D theatre for a fascinating look at the early creation of the universe, the interactive dinosaur museum, dino playground and the all-important dinosaur cafe.

American Museum of Natural History, New York City

If you’re heading to New York City then the American Museum of Natural History is a must visit for any dinosaur loving family. With one of the greatest dinosaur fossil collections in the world, the American Museum of Natural History would have to be the best dinosaur museum in USA in our opinion.

And your little dinosaur lover will be in awe of the 136 specimens on display including this Yutyrannus huali. Welcoming visitors to the museum is the incredible Titanosaur, a massive 122 feet long dinosaur which has called New York City home since 2016.

Best Dinosaur Attractions in England

Natural history museum, london.

The Natural History Museum in London is a world famous dinosaur museum, housing the first fossil ever found from a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the skull of a Triceratops, and the most complete Stegosaurus skeleton in the world. It’s an incredible place for adults and kids to explore and the bonus is, visiting the dinosaurs is free.

If you can, make sure you get to the Museum early to beat the crowds and leave plenty of time to explore the other incredible displays. This museum is an absolute favourite of ours and worth devoting some time to.

If you want to have an extra special time with the dinosaurs then can you imagine sleeping with them? At the Natural History Museum you can, thanks to the Dino Snores for Kids program. Dino Snores is for kids aged 7 to 11 and their parents/guardians. Although kids outside these ages aren’t able to stay overnight, the adults can go on their own for Dino Snores for Adults nights. Now that would be fun!

Jurassic Coast, Dorset to Devon

Getting to hunt for our own fossils along the dramatic coastline of England was a huge highlight for our three children.

The Jurassic Coast is a 95-mile stretch of coast between Dorset and Devon in England. Here it is possible to see 185 million years of our Earths history through the local rock formations. Not that our three really paid much attention to that. Instead, they enjoyed running along the rocks and pebbles looking for their own piece of history to collect.

Here the first full fossil of an Ichthyosaur was discovered, helping to change the way scientists in the 1800’s viewed the natural world.

The best place to find your own fossils is along Charmouth Beach. You can take a guided fossil walk through the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre or like us, try your luck by just exploring.

The best time to look is at low tide and if there has been rough weather before your visit. You can take a rock hammer, chisel and of course safety glasses but we were lucky enough to find a couple of Ammonite fossils just loose on the beach. You can also take your fossils home, as any fossils that are not collected will end up destroyed by the sea.

Best Dinosaur Attractions in Portugal

Pedreira do galinha (natural monument of the dinosaur footprints), ourem.

Ourem, Portugal is a 1.5-hour drive north of Lisbon, but a trip to this city takes you back millions of years to the time of the dinosaurs. In Ourem you can find the Natural Monument of the Dinosaur Footprints or Pedreira do Galinha . The site is an excellent off-the-beaten-path choice, especially when visiting Portugal with kids. A paved walking path surrounds the 60,000m 2  quarry where hundreds of well-preserved dinosaur footprints lie.

The huge tracks were made by a herd of sauropods 175 million years ago during the middle Jurassic period. At that time, the site was made of carbonated mud, which was easily shaped. Over millennia, the mud was transformed into limestone, thus preserving the footprints. Although the quarry is roped off, there are sections where you can get very close to the footprints. It is not hard to imagine these four-legged giants walking the grounds as trackways are clearly visible, one of which is 147 m long! The quarry is not only famous for its remarkable condition, but it is also considered to be the oldest and longest surviving set of sauropod tracks in the world!

Best Dinosaur Attractions in Belgium

Royal belgian institute of natural sciences, brussels.

The Brussels Natural History Museum is a great way to spend half a day, or even a full day if you want to get into the full dinosaur experience. A quick walk from European Parliament, this dinosaur museum has lots to offer little explorers. From the dinosaur gallery on the main floor, full of skeletons and dinosaur digs, to the Gallery of Human kind where they discuss human evolution, and the Gallery of Evolution which looks at the evolution of animal kind around the world, there is something for everyone.

Of course, the Dinosaur Gallery is the most popular and largest of the galleries. It is easy to spend a few hours carefully exploring each skeleton, examining the placards and becoming an archaeologist in the fossil dig site.

Best Dinosaur Museum in Switzerland

Sauriermuseum aathal (aathal dinosaur museum), zurich.

The largest dinosaur museum in Europe , and owned by the archaeologist responsible for the most impressive find to date, the SaurierMuseum in Zurich, Switzerland is every child’s dream come true. While many of the artefacts are behind a rope and meant to be protected, there are replicas throughout the museum that are meant to be touched. That’s right – your child is actually allowed to touch something at the museum! There is also a multi-media room where they showcase dinosaurs in pop-culture as well as various forms of visual and print media – lunch boxes, t-shirts, Saturday morning cartoons – are truly interactive and amazing. Don’t forget to visit the Big Bang Room before heading upstairs.

The Museum states, “the dinosaurs are anywhere from 50 to 95 percent actual bones, and the Allosaurus “Big Al Two”, which is 95 percent complete, is the most complete example of this dinosaur ever found.” As you can see, this museum is extremely important in paleontology.

Best Dinosaur Museum  in Russia

Orlov palaeontology museum, moscow.

Russia is big. Russia is in fact very, very big. And a lot of this size is uninhabited frozen wilderness, tundra, and forests. So it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that Siberia, in particular, has been a rich source of prehistoric finds over the years. Or that a number of these fossilised skeletons, stone footprints, painted rocks or defrosted mammoth mummies have made their way to the capital, Moscow, where there is a huge collection of dinosaur bones in the Orlov Palaeontology Museum .

On display is an extremely impressive number of full-sized skeletons. Everything from giant sloths and large flightless birds, through fishy reptiles and shellfish impressions, to crowd-pleasing triceratops, brontosauruses and the sort of terrible lizards who would rip you apart as soon as they look at you. But the museum is also notable for its artwork. There are all sorts of murals, sculptures and dinosaur-themed wrought iron door and window fittings to discover too. And that’s before you get to the cave paintings.

It’s an extensive collection, and the fact that there is very little English language support is really not a problem given that dinosaurs don’t really need much embellishment to wow. Well worth a visit if you are ever in Moscow.

Best Dinosaur Experience  in Czech Republic

Dinopark praha, prague.

You can find Dinopark Prague in quite an unusual location… on top of the Gallery Harfa Shopping Centre. It’s part of a chain of dinosaur theme parks in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, and Russia. The shopping mall is easy to reach by public transport and there’s a large car park. You can get there by metro, bus or tram. When you get to the roof of the shopping mall, there’s a nice food court and a small playground with awesome iron musical play structures. You can already see the huge dinosaur statues behind the park walls.

Our toddler was mesmerized by the life-sized dinosaurs, most of them animated and making sounds. There’s also a paleontological playground, where kids can uncover a dinosaur skeleton and some dino themed play equipment. Since we were there in 2016, they’ve added a unique 4D cinema, which is included in the park’s entrance fee. Dinopark Prague is not a very large park, but with an entrance fee of only $6.5 USD it’s definitely worth 1-2 hours of amusement for your kids.

Best Dinosaur Attraction in UAE

Dubai garden glow, dubai.

Dinosaurs in Dubai? Ok not quite real but for our little ones, this is about as good as it gets! Made real to life size and controlled by animatics, including real-life roars!! The dinosaur park is part of the Dubai Garden Glow in Zabeel Park. It opens in the evenings only from 4 pm over the cooler summer months. As the sun goes down the dinosaurs come to life! All the kids’ favourites are there and dinosaur eggs to sit in.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

  • Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
  • Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
  • How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
  • What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
  • What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
  • What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.

MOAB 4X4 TRAILS IN MOAB, UTAH

Moab 4×4 Trails: A Guide to the Ultimate Off-Road Adventure Moab, Utah is a paradise for off-road enthusiasts, with hundreds of miles of scenic trails that offer a variety of challenges and views. Whether you are looking for a relaxing drive through the desert, a thrilling ride on slickrock, or a technical test of your skills, Moab has something for everyone. In this guide, we will introduce you to some of the best 4×4 trails in Moab, and give you some tips on how to enjoy them safely and responsibly.

Hell’s Revenge is one of the most popular and iconic trails in Moab, and for good reason. This trail takes you on a roller coaster ride of steep climbs, descents, and edges on the slickrock, with stunning views of the Colorado River and the La Sal Mountains. Along the way, you will encounter some optional obstacles that will challenge even the most experienced drivers, such as Hell’s Gate, Tip-over Challenge, the Escalator, Rubble Trouble, and the Hot Tubs. This trail is not for the faint of heart, but if you are looking for an adrenaline rush, this is the trail for you. Difficulty: Hard Length: 7.6 miles Time: 3-4 hours Access: From Moab, take Highway 191 north for about 4 miles, then turn right on the Sand Flats Road. Follow the signs for the Sand Flats Recreation Area, where you will need to pay an entry fee. The trailhead is about 2 miles from the entrance.

Gemini Bridges is a moderate trail that takes you to a spectacular natural feature: two parallel sandstone arches that span a deep canyon. The trail follows a dirt road that winds through the hills and valleys of the Moab backcountry, with occasional rocky sections and sandy washes. The trail is suitable for stock high-clearance 4×4 vehicles, and offers some scenic views along the way. The Gemini Bridges themselves are not visible from the trail, but you can park your vehicle and hike down to the edge of the canyon to see them up close.

Difficulty: Moderate Length: 13.2 miles Time: 2-3 hours Access: From Moab, take Highway 191 north for about 14 miles, then turn left on Highway 313. Drive for about 12.8 miles, then turn left on a dirt road marked Gemini Bridges. The trailhead is about 0.5 miles from the highway.

Moab Rim Trail is a short but challenging trail that climbs up the steep cliffs overlooking Moab and the Colorado River. The trail starts with a series of switchbacks that ascend over 1,000 feet in less than a mile, requiring careful driving and spotting. Once on top of the rim, the trail becomes easier, but still has some obstacles and narrow sections. The reward is a panoramic view of Moab and the surrounding landscape, as well as some interesting rock formations and petroglyphs. This trail is best done in the morning or evening, as the sun can be intense on the exposed slickrock. Difficulty: Hard Length: 8 miles Time: 2-3 hours Access: From Moab, take Kane Creek Boulevard west for about 3 miles, then turn right on a dirt road just before the Kane Creek Campground. The trailhead is about 0.2 miles from the pavement.

There are many more trails to explore in Moab, depending on your preference and skill level. For one of the best guide books in the area check out: Moab UT Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails.

Here are some more trails that you might want to look at:

Shafer Trail: A 19-mile point-to-point trail that descends 1,500 feet through colorful sandstone cliffs and offers stunning views of the Island in the Sky District. Onion Creek Trail: A 20-mile out-and-back trail that follows a beautiful creek and crosses 26 stream crossings. It is a great trail for mountain biking and 4×4 driving.

Chicken Corners Trail: A 14.8-mile out-and-back trail that travels the Colorado River Canyon just below Moab, follows a spectacular part of Kane Springs Canyon, climbs the Kane Creek anticline to Hurrah Pass, and descends to benches above the Colorado River.

Seven Mile Rim Trail: A 11-mile out-and-back trail that passes the old Cotter uranium mine and switches back to reach the cliff rim above the mine and Highway 191. It offers amazing views of the red rock formations and the Colorado River. Elephant Hill: A popular hiking and mountain biking trail that offers jaw dropping views of sweeping canyons and unique rock formations. It is also a popular off-road trail for four-wheelers who come to tackle the hill’s steep slopes.

Fins N Things: A loop ride off the Sand Flats Road about a mile past Slickrock. It features some tight narrows, squeezes, drops into pools, short rappels, and downclimbs. It is a trail for conditioned, skilled riders with intermediate to advanced technical skills.

Monitor and Merrimac: A new slickrock ride north of Moab. The apex of the loop offers a view of two rock formations, named Monitor and Merrimac in honor of the civil war ironclad warships. The ride is 6.1 miles in length and has an elevation gain of 728 feet.

Poison Spider Mesa: One of the most popular trails in Moab and is often combined with Golden Spike and Gold Bar Rim. Poison Spider Mesa is a fun-filled combination of challenging obstacles and incredible scenery. Don’t miss impressive Little Arch near cliff edge overlooking Moab. Top of the World: A rough and rugged rock crawling trail. It rises in elevation, climbing the Waring Mesa. The trail splits Waring Canyon to the west and Cottonwood Canyon to the east and climbs to a viewpoint overlooking the Onion Creek area. It is an out-and-back trail with a lollipop loop at the far end.

Tips for Off-Roading in Moab Off-roading in Moab can be a lot of fun, but it can also be dangerous if you are not prepared. Here are some tips to help you have a safe and enjoyable off-road adventure in Moab:

Check the weather and trail conditions before you go. Moab can experience extreme weather conditions, such as flash floods, thunderstorms, snow, and heat. Some trails may be closed or impassable due to weather or maintenance. You can check the latest weather and trail conditions at Discover Moab. Bring enough water, food, and fuel. Moab is a remote area, and you may not find any services or facilities along the trails. Make sure you have enough water, food, and fuel for your trip, and pack some extra in case of emergencies. You should also bring a first-aid kit, a fire extinguisher, a spare tire, and a recovery kit. Stay on the designated trails. Moab has a fragile ecosystem, and off-roading can cause damage to the soil, vegetation, and wildlife. Respect the land and the rules, and stay on the designated trails. Do not drive over or near any archaeological or historical sites, such as petroglyphs or dinosaur tracks. Do not litter or leave any trace of your visit. Drive with caution and care. Moab has some challenging and dangerous trails, and you should drive with caution and care. Do not drive faster than you can see, and watch out for other vehicles, bikers, hikers, and animals. Do not attempt any obstacles that are beyond your skill level or your vehicle’s capability. If you are unsure, scout ahead or ask for help. Always wear your seat belt and helmet, and keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle. Have fun and enjoy the views. Moab has some of the most beautiful and unique landscapes in the world, and off-roading is a great way to experience them. Have fun and enjoy the views, but also be respectful and responsible. Remember, you are a guest in this land, and you should leave it as you found it. We hope this guide has given you some ideas and inspiration for your off-road adventure in Moab. Moab has something for everyone, and we are sure you will have a memorable and exciting time. Happy trails!
