06/18 – 06/20 We traveled north up to Dinosaur National Monument. We stopped at the Visitors Center outside of Dinosaur, CO but we were told the actual excavation site was on the Utah side of the Monument so after a bite of lunch we went around to the Utah side and were able to secure a couple of nights at the Campground there right along the Green river. Bob has been our taxi as well as our comic relief on this trip and ferried us around to the numerous petroglyph and historical homesteading sites throughout the park. This is the only place with lizard Petroglyphs. We had to hike a little ways up to the cliff face but the artwork was outstanding. We were then gifted with a beautiful sunset at our campsite and enjoyed a great hike along the river in the mornings. The amount of Dinosaur bones still on display at the excavation site is a wonder. We were also able to see how much of the mountain had actually been removed. Many of the full skeletons seen at museums came from this site. Way Cool!
