Sunland Park’s DinoTracks Site Comes To Life W/ Its New Nifty App

The dinosaur age has joined the digital era as the DinoTracks site in Sunland Park debuts its new augmented reality hiking tour app.

Insights' new app will allow families to hike with the dinosaurs that once roamed our region alongside their fossil footprints, merging the past with the present. The borderland is home to many geological sites, including the Dinosaur footprint fossils at Insights' DinoTracks site in Sunland Park, NM.

The impressive site reveals a 98 million-year-old history rich with over five different species of dinosaurs, volcanos, and even marine organisms, evidence that El Paso and surrounding areas were once underwater.
