DINOSAUR NATIONAL MONUMENT UTAH…is it worth it?

โ€œI asked Cameron what type of dinosaur he was and without hesitation he blurted out…a Tyrannosaurus-sex. I, on the other hand, said I was a Pterodactyl, and he immediately corrected me and said “Terrible-dactyl”! Ahem…RUDE!โ€

I asked Cameron what type of dinosaur he was and without hesitation he blurted out…a Tyrannosaurus-sex.
I, on the other hand, said I was a Pterodactyl, and he immediately corrected me and said “Terrible-dactyl”!
Ahem…RUDE!

Iโ€™m not gonna lie, I didnโ€™t have high hopes for Dinosaur National Monument.
But, boy was I wrong. Iโ€™ve never seen so many different types, shapes, and sizes of dinosaur bones in one place.
Learning how they ended up in Jensen Utah was fascinating.

Afterwards, we did the recommended scenic drive based on the amount of time we had available.
There are a number of fun stops along the way – lookouts, rock formations, petroglyphs, and a cabin.
Plus, an epic spot to snag a pic in the middle of the road.ย
