Dinosaur National Monument in Utah

Today we got the chance to visit a pretty cool National monument in Utah, the Dinosaur National Monument!

Austin loved it from the very beginning, seeing a huge stegosaurus outside the visitor center.

He ran to see what was inside!

A short ride up the mountain and we were amazed to see all the REAL bone fossils still inside the mountain!

This head fossil was by far one of the coolest things I have ever seen! It is still in the mountain!

another head that was dug out and put on display

Austin worked on his Junior ranger book, while he toured the facility. There was so much to learn there!

YES! You can tough real fossil bones!!

Overall, this National Monument was so much better then I thought it would be! Seeing the side of the mountain with all the amazing bones in it is truly impressive! 

It doesn't take long to go through this place, so just a couple hours is all you really need. There are a lot of hikes that you can go inside the park, so bring your good shoes and some friends and go explore this amazing place!
