Dinosaur National Monument

If you love ancient history, this is the place for you. To see Dinosaur bones 149 million years old is amazing. The staff at the park is very helpful and ready to answer all of your questions. The tram drivers are just as welcoming. The place is well maintained and worth a visit.

Too cold to go for a hike but the quarry building with its 1500 dinosaur bones half buried in rock were incredible. Even my wife who doesn’t like dinosaurs or old stuff was impressed. We stayed for nearly two hours gawking at the massive bones. Well worth a stop.

We passed during September. It was a day trip and it was still a bit hot, but it was worth it. They preserve the dinosaur bones In great shape. Shout-out to ranger Molly who took the time to explain really well so many details about how the mountains were formed and how the bones were found around that area. The roads are in good condition, Bathrooms are really good for being in such an isolated place. Recommend doing the fossil discovery trail downwards from the exhibit hall.

This is a very interesting place. I have to be honest I find dinosaurs somewhat confusing. This was very informative and I learned quite a bit. The thing I thought was especially cool was being able to touch several of the bones in the quarry wall. Beautiful area with hiking trails and amazing colors.

I was nicely surprised by what I found there. I expected many beautified, inflated, and invented stories. What I found was well and rightly protected excavation site. There are also many walking trails with breathtaking views. The Visitor Center was nicely designed and helpful. Wow, what a day it was.

Go to the Utah side where the Quarry Hall is and see the site where the actual dinosaur bones were chiseled out of that rock mountain. So impressive! The park has a nice drive around area (about 30-40 minutes) to see geological features and also a cool petroglyph trail up a little mountain path that was fun to hike. Many interesting geologicalFeatures and a couple cool picnic/camping areas as well. Enjoy!

It is a little out of the way, but it is well worth the visit. Check out the Visitor Center, get info about the park. There is a shuttle that runs to the fossil quarry every 15 minutes. After, take a drive to see amazing geological feature and check out the petroglyphs.

I've camped here in the past and really enjoyed it. Sites are screened well from each other, they are very close to the Green River and most sites are filled with tents rather than large motorhomes. This leads to a more quiet environment as you don't have to listen to generators running at all hours. There are a couple of scenic areas/drives through the park. We didn't have time for the Canyon section and only visited the Quarry section. There is a shuttle up to the actual discovery area, but you can also drive up here on your own. The road past the visitør center lead to the historic Josie Morris cabin. An amazing historic site! Trying to imagine living with no moderne conveniences out here in the middle of nowhere would be unfathomable! I used to live fairly close to this location and have probably visited half a dozen times. Although not on par with many of the National Parks, it is worth the visit!
