Moqui Cave, a Southern Utah landmark, is a natural history museum featuring Native American artifacts and a large collection of dinosaur tracks. Within Moqui Cave is a large display of Native American artifacts along with unique fluorescent rocks and minerals from around the world. Also on display are a sizeable collection of pre-Columbian artifacts from Mexico and more than 1,000 arrowheads.
