Dinosaur National Monument, Utah

We moved on to Dinosaur National Monument near Vernal, UT. Our campground is right on the Green River. The arrow points to my RV.

This is the new Quarry Center where an entire wall of fossilized dinosaur bones are exposed.

These bones were washed together in ancient river floods.

I was first here in the late 1970's. It's an amazing place and I'm so glad my grandchildren have had the opportunity to visit here.

Allosauras was the most common dinosaur in this area.

We took a ranger guided tour.

Here is a series of vertebrae still in the hillside. This is what it looked like to the early explorers.

On up the remote and isolated canyon is Josie's homestead where she lived alone farming and ranching until well into her 90's.

Her corrals were situated here in this true box canyon.

Petroglyphs can be seen throughout the park.

The mountains in the area probably contain thousands more dinosaur fossils.

Now leaving the remote beauty of Dinosaur National Monument we are moving on to Dechesne,UT, then Heber City from which we will tour Salt Lake City, Temple Square, Park City and more. Stay tuned.
