Around an hour and a half drive southwest of Dallas sits Glen Rose, a sleepy (but growing) small Texas town of roughly three thousand. It’s known for its pristinely preserved dinosaur tracks that are among the highest quality in the world. These tracks, which are found in the Paluxy River that snakes through nearby Dinosaur Valley State Park , date back an estimated 113 million years.

As you’d guess, dinosaurs are beloved here. You’ll see an abundance of them in statue form across yards all over town. And current Detroit Lions head coach (and former Dallas Cowboys tight end) Dan Campbell starred in high school in Glen Rose.

But Glen Rose has a lot more to it than dinosaur tracks and Dan Campbell’s old high school. The food scene is legit here. Grumps Burgers, Riverhouse Grill, WhiskyWo
