4. When the path splits, stick to the left and walk between the trees.
5. As the path loops around, keep your eyes open. The post is hiding somewhere on your right!

7. At the pavement games, turn left onto the paved path.
8. When you meet the gravel path again, turn left and follow it back toward your vehicle.

Did You Know?

• While still small, the T-Rex's arms were over three feet long and may have been capable of bench pressing 400 pounds each.
• Female T-Rex's outweighed the male by a few thousand pounds, maybe because they had to lay T-Rex sized eggs.
• The T-Rex had a powerful bite, about 1,500 to 3,000 pounds per square inch, comparable to that of a modern alligator.
