4 June 2003, Dinosaur National Monument, UT: The monument spans two states, on the Utah side is the famous and fantastic dinosaur quarry. Ironically, Dinosaur NM would not need a single fossil to be a first-rate destination. The Canyon of Lodore, Split Mountain, the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers, the plague of crickets and rock art of the Fremont Culture provides more than enough to see. Riverboat tour groups were on the swollen rivers; we chatted with one tour operator. A 4 day excursion cost $750 per person, more than the cost of our 3 week trip! |
