Dinosaur National Monument is located in northwest
Colorado and northeast Utah and straddling the border of Colorado and Utah. About
two-thirds of the park is in Colorado. Dinosaur is 210,000 acres in size; plenty of room
for you to find solitude, magnificent scenery, hike a wild landscape.
The park was created in 1915 for the unmatched deposit of Jurassic dinosaur bones. The
unique natural exhibit of over 1600 dinosaur bones, in their final resting place, were
deposited in an ancient river bed turned to stone. Today remnants of that deposit form one
wall of the Dinosaur Quarry Visitor Center.
