Utah
The short route northward.
We visited this Monument in 1999 but did an extensive
tour this time while RVing in the Monument.
Approaching the Monument.
Our site on the Green River.
In the covered quarry. 350 tons of dinosaur bones
were shipped to Cleveland in the early 1900's.
Many were left in the rock for all to enjoy.
Twenty miles of gravel road took us to the "other"
side of the Monument where the views were
spectacular and the petroglyphs were numerous.
Overlooking Island Park in Dinosaur National Monument.
Passing through the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.
The red rocks, blue water, and yellow flowers
startled us as we rounded a mountain corner.
A couple of corners later we startled a family of desert bighorn sheep,
but got photos as they turned back to check us out.
We visited Utah's King's Peak, the highest point in the state.
But had to access the trailhead from Wyoming.
Relaxing on the highpointer's bench at the trailhead.
Entering the wilderness area.
On the trail.
Soaking tired feet after the hike. Very cold water!
