Famous as a site where numerous dinosaur skeletons from millions of years ago have been unearthed, Dinosaur National Monument is a park where history and natural beauty come together. Hike or raft through miles of this remote desert park and stay overnight in one of the campgrounds to get a true feel for this unusual region. View fossils at the visitors center and see some of the ancient pictographs carved by our ancestors thousands of years ago. Exploring so many different time periods that have helped to shape our present, this park, which crosses the Colorado-Utah border near Vernal, is truly an awesome adventure.
