Dinosaur National Monument

A Camarasaurus skull is just one of approximately 1,500 dinosaur bones in DNM's great wall.

IMG_9146The great wall of dinosaur bones at Dinosaur National Monument’s Quarry Exhibit Hall is a must-see. The cliff wall features approximately 1,500 dinosaur bones. In the Carnegie Museum, folks can feast their eyes on specimens like Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, Diplodocus and Stegosaurus. The Apatosaurus on display at the museum was the first specimen ever found at Dinosaur National Monument.

While you’re in the area, be sure to check other regional attractions, such as Echo Park, Harpers Corner Area, Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery and Cub Creek Area, an area packed with petroglyphs and pictographs from the Fremont people who lived in the area 1,000 years ago.
