Hands down my favorite town in Texas. I hike and camp there almost year round. Good restaurants, shops and people. I love how it hasn't been overun with corporate business. Thanks for the video.
My dad took me there about 40 years ago because I was into dinosaurs back then. I got to walk down the river bank, when it was dried up, and see a few dinosaur tracks. I would love to go back when I have the time and it isn't raining so much...lol
I have visited this beautiful town and love the brazos river down where the dinosaur tracks are.But it’s better to visit during the week less crowds and traffic very laid back. I highly recommend this town to visit as well as Granbury,Tx not far from Glen Rose
Hi Ana, just a friendly clarification, the Paluxy river is the correct river to see the dinosaur tracks in around Glen Rose. Why none have been discovered in the Brazos riverbed, baffles me, especially since I used to work in a gravel plant and strip mining operatiin on the banks of the Brazos and I saw way more arrowheads and fossils there than I've ever found in the Paluxy during my 50+ years swimming, fishing and hiking the Paluxy. A few of the things I saw uncovered in that gravel plant was a 6" sabretooth tiger tooth that a coworker made into a necklace and a 12' mastodon tusk that was unsalvageable due to the water permeating in the clay, when we tried to pick the tusk up, it would just crumble, ended up that only the tip section of about 2' was petrified, or stable enough to preserve.
I live in Granbury about 15 minutes from Glen rose. I’ve never seen that much water at Dinosaur Valley State park. Must have been after heavy rains. I saw the newly uncovered tracks in the river bed when it was completely dried out in 2022. Pretty amazing!!
In NE GA & rarely travel but my sister took me there years ago. She lived in FT Worth. Big change from GA scenery & I loved it. Beautiful. The tracks are amazing. I’ve read more were exposed as some creekbeds receded. Fascinating!
I love the town of Glen Rose. I enjoy riding my motorcycle out that way and eating at a local spot. On another note......I have to say it..... "........New York City. NEW YORK CITY!?!?!?.......Get a rope." 😁
Native Texan here as well, but also a native of Glen Rose for 60 + years and we don't have any higher population of rattlesnakes than any other part of the "Hill Country" or "Cross-Timbers" region in Texas since Somervell County is kind of the Northern point of the "Hill Country".
the best place to visit in glen rose is the creation evidences museum been there a few times, at the end of this month will return to help excavate dino tracks.
I've probably drank moonshine from that old still in the museum, especially if it belonged to a certain deceased resident of Somervell county known for making the smoothest sipping Whiskey in Texas.
How about the human footprints on the same strata and only a few feet from the dinosaur tracks? I've seen them, walked in them, 14 prints, left right left right, equal distant apart, all human shape, in a straight row. They cannot be denied. Makes you rethink what we have been taught.
One of the human footprints is directly on top of a dinosaur imprint! I think it is called the "meister" print. Dr Carl Baugh made several videos about that dino/human imprint. Nobody talks about it because it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that evolution is a BIG..... FAT...... LIE.
@@floydholder597 I was an electrician in Safeguard 1 hangin 5-6in rigid conduit. Steel work. Lol. They finally ran fire hoses on to of the reactors. Cooled it down about 10 degrees. But 20-30 feet off of the ground it was still 110-120 degrees. Oh what fun. I was 23 and lived in Granbury.
@@floydholder597 Safeguard 1. I was a yellow hat/electrician. I worked in the time office for awhile too. Much easier. And cooler since it was at night.
The amount and variety of species you see at Fossilrim will depend on the weather and time of day. During the hottest periods of the year, you will see far more animals out grazing during the cooler times of the day, as during the hottest times most of them are up in the shade from the live oak and cedars. During colder periods, you will generally see them during the middle of the day, or at least warmer part of the day. Hope you get a 2nd chance to visit Fossil Rim and have better luck. Something else you may want to check out at Fosdil Rim are their special behind the scenes programs where you get a better picture of what exactly Fossil Rim does besides provide a glimpse of exotic animals. Fossil Rim had and still has to my knowledge two of the most successfull breeding programs for endangered species in the world with their Cheetahs and White Rhino breeding programs, which are included in some of the "behind the scenes" options if your budget is pretty fat. They are proud of their facility as they should be, but for a middle income family on a budget, it can be a significant amount to shell out, especially these days. And if you come during one of our wetter years, most of the kids love Dinosaur State Park, or accessing the Paluxy River at one of several othrr low water road crossings and access points, or at Big Rocks Park in Glen Rose. If you go to Big Rocks Thursday thru Sunday, there's a great little food truck just around the corner from the neighboring Methodist Camp, it's called 3B's for Brats, Burgers and Beer, which is also pretty much the menu, but they do have the best burgers in town and their handmade made Brats are pretty dang hard to beat too. Good luck and happy travels!
It's disappointing to see the amount of support for the "Creation Museum". It's utter and total nonsense, but hopefully we can eventually leave that way of thinking with the other fossils one day.

You have the most pleasant videos of Texas❤
Recently, my husband and I went to Glen Rose, and we enjoyed it and plan to go back there again when the weather is cooler.

@@jaymoney7772 you got it, bud!
@@johnmyers8588 haha such an awesome place man! Grew up in Glen Rose actually got my very first job there!
@@jaymoney7772 yes it is!
Great video! Thank you for making this.
Very informative. ✌
Native Texan: Lots of Rattlesnakes in Glen Rose watch where you step and reach! ✝️🍺🎱
Yep. I live in Bosque county just south. You learn to look up and down at the same time.
Land sakes...Rattle Snakes!

Great job on the videos! I like them because you explain the location which you visit 😀👍
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video about Glenn Rose Texas. Looking forward to a video about the park. Happy trails and safe travels.
Good job.
I enjoyed this.
I've never been to Glen Rose. Definitely on my to-visit list! Great video!
Great! I hope that you enjoy your visit there.
My bucket list is getting fuller - your fault of course :)
Wow that's a fantastic place.
Glen rose is fun...we had our family reunion at that park for many years.. we ate at both places and it was so good..
Love the Creation Museum. Nice town, fun to visit.
Was there yesterday enjoying the cool water at Big Rocks park. Just a day trip from San Angelo, Tx.
Great video I remember going there in the 80s
super👍 thanks👍
Great video
NEVER BEEN THERE.
THANKS FOR THE SHOWING.
You were in my part of Texas here. Too bad I didn’t know you’d be there. I would’ve bought you a cup of coffee or something. LOL
That would have been nice. Maybe next time.
I'm a Native Texan and I can't believe I've never heard of this place! Thank you! Hope I can get there for a visit soon.
This is one of my favorite little day trips. I live in FtWorth.
Ft Worthians are welcome, East of 360 not so much these days....
Thnxs

Ant island from a bug's life appears to have limestone cliffs (similar to Glen rose)

Those footprints were left by the tax collector, trying to get money out of the dinosaurs.
@@1framistanAmen to that!!!
The creation meusum is really awesome to
Amen! Get the truth there.
Went there many years ago! I saw a photo of a human footprint next
to a Dino footprint!
👍🏻
I use to work at the nuclear power plant hanging steel when they were building it. The hottest summer on record until this summer.
Ohh yeah, summer of 80 or 81, I can't remember for sure, but I was in the very top of reactor 2 for that misery hanging HVAC duct for Bahnson.
@@floydholder597 I was an electrician in Safeguard 1 hangin 5-6in rigid conduit. Steel work. Lol. They finally ran fire hoses on to of the reactors. Cooled it down about 10 degrees. But 20-30 feet off of the ground it was still 110-120 degrees. Oh what fun. I was 23 and lived in Granbury.
@@floydholder597 It was summer of 1980.

I couldn't remember for sure which year that one was.
Where were your primary work locations?

I have gone to fossil rim with my kids and all we saw were deer !The rest of the animals were hiding or something, we were disappointed ☹️

Creation Evidence Museum near the entrance to the state park. You can get the truth there.
