This is a very interesting place. I have to be honest I find dinosaurs somewhat confusing. This was very informative and I learned quite a bit. The thing I thought was especially cool was being able to touch several of the bones in the quarry wall. Beautiful area with hiking trails and amazing colors.
Go to the Utah side where the Quarry Hall is and see the site where the actual dinosaur bones were chiseled out of that rock mountain. So impressive! The park has a nice drive around area (about 30-40 minutes) to see geological features and also a cool petroglyph trail up a little mountain path that was fun to hike. Many interesting geologicalFeatures and a couple cool picnic/camping areas as well. Enjoy!
We passed during September. It was a day trip and it was still a bit hot, but it was worth it. They preserve the dinosaur bones In great shape. Shout-out to ranger Molly who took the time to explain really well so many details about how the mountains were formed and how the bones were found around that area. The roads are in good condition, Bathrooms are really good for being in such an isolated place. Recommend doing the fossil discovery trail downwards from the exhibit hall.
