Dinosaur National Monument
Jurassic Park lovers, rejoice! Some of the best dinosaur tracks in the world are found here.
See a dinosaur quarry and dinosaur bones up close and personal at this unique park. No, it's not Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble digging with a brontosaurus. These are fossilized bones tens of millions of years old.
The monument itself coves a whopping 210,000 acres, which means you can roam places where dinos once frolicked. Imagine being a giant dino with a long neck and tail lumbering through a shallow sea. Humans came much later, and they left behind ancient petroglyphs at this site.
When you've had your fill of history, head down the Green River. This narrow waterway carved a tall canyon. If you're experienced enough, BYOB (bring your own boat) and hit the rapids. Otherwise, a couple of outfitters can guide you on a whitewater adventure.
