The Dinosaur National Monument is situated on the border between Utah and Colorado, where the Yampa and Green Rivers meet. It includes more than 800 individual paleontological sites. You don’t need to be a hardcore dinosaur fan to enjoy this place either.
Some of the most popular activities here include camping, hiking, and rafting. Be sure to see the popular cliff wall at the Carnegie Quarry. Reportedly, over 1,500 dinosaur fossils are located here.
The city of Moab is said by some travel writers to be “the gateway” to the state’s trademark red rock formations as well as the home of some of Utah’s best hotels and resorts. This family-friendly place is also a great place for biking, camping, hiking, off-roading, and whitewater rafting. Veteran visitors recommend going to the Colorado River for the noteworthy three-hour Sound and Light Show tour as well.
