ABOUT DINOSAUR NATIONAL MONUMENT
Dinosaur National Monument is what the dreams of geologists, paleontologists and children are made of! Dinosaurs everywhere. Dinosaur National Monument takes its name from a remarkable deposit of fossil bones of crocodiles, turtles and 10 species of dinosaurs from 150 million years ago. Long ago, dynamic forces pushed and tilted layers of rock upward. Later, erosion exposed the layers as colorful ridges and revealed remnants of ancient ecosystems including now-extinct animals that inhabited landscapes quite different from what you see in the photos. Because of its uniqueness, this is a not to be missed national park.
Today, the mountains, desert and untamed rivers flowing in deep canyons, support an array of life. Petroglyphs hint at earlier cultures. Later, homesteaders and outlaws found refuge here. Whether your passion is science, adventure, history or scenery, Dinosaur National Monument offers much to explore.
Most people come to see dinosaur fossils and there are 1,500 visible bones of these amazing creatures still encased in the rock at the Dinosaur Quarry Exhibit Hall. But there is more to see here beyond the amazing fossils. Go whitewater rafting and star gazing.
Explore mountains and canyons. Watch wildlife and photograph wildflowers. Contemplate historic cabins and Fremont rock art. Dinosaur offers countless opportunities for discovery!
Dinosaur National Monument is spread over 210,000 acres along the Colorado and Utah border. Each part of the monument offers different experiences and things to see.
If you want to see Dinosaur Fossils, the Utah side of the monument is where you will want to go. Utah State Highway 149 takes visitors into the monument and to the Quarry Visitor Center. Depending on the season, you may either drive to the Dinosaur Quarry Exhibit Hall or in summer, a shuttle bus will take you.
If you desire is to see some of the spectacular canyon country scenery, the Colorado side is the place for you. The Harpers Corner Road is a 32 mile scenic drive that includes overlooks of the Yampa and Green rivers. The short Harpers Corner Trail at the road's end is a must to get the most dramatic views. For those with a high clearance vehicle, the drive to Echo Park will take you into the depths of the river canyons.

Jensen, Utah Green River and Musketshot Springs - Dinosaur National Monument With DJI Mavic Air. I love to go to these places because it is peaceful and nobody is round. The green river and Musketshot Springs look different throughout the year so I go there often. Dinosaur National Monument is beautiful. After watching some Jeven Dovey Youtube videos, I had to go out and practice flying my Mavic Air drone.
