Review:
Situated on the southeast flank of the Uinta Mountains at the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers lies the Dinosaur National Monument, a vast national monument after which the town was named. Set on the on the border between Colorado and Utah, the 210,844-acre monument is one of the world’s best windows into the late Jurassic period and features a wealth of prehistoric plant and animal fossils embedded in sloping rock formation. The monument’s rugged landscapes of mountains and canyons offer a variety of outdoor recreational activities from hiking, mountain biking, mountain climbing and kayaking to white-water rafting, horseback riding, fishing, and backcountry camping. Other amenities and activities in the monument include scenic drives, picnicking, and Junior Ranger and Junior Paleontology programs.
