Practically the only structure in Dinosaur, Colorado. I think it was once a knick-knack shop. #Resist #Protest #NationalPark #DinosaurNationalMonument #Photography
One fascinating part of the National Park system is the Dinosaur National Monument.It is more than the wall of bones. This location is especially at a risk to be sold off! #Resist #Protest #Protect #DinosaurNationalMonument #LandscapePhotography @natashataylor746.bsky.social
#OnThisDay 110 years ago people in 1915 on Monday October 4th to be exact is when the #DinosaurNationalMonument was officially established in the Uinta Mountains which borders between #Colorado & #Utah a truly a remarkable place in this particular country for the record
Photograph of two whitewater rafts floating along the base of a massive sandstone overhang. The sandstone is golden blonde in color and has prominent vertical stripes of black desert varnish. Each raft has a guide, baggage and passengers, and the rafting setups look tiny under the looming cliff.
Something old for #RockinTuesday, because I've been thinking about Dinosaur... Weber sandstone, desert varnish, Yampa River

Crossing from Colorado into Utah inside the Dinosaur National Monument. No sale of public land!!! #DinosaurNationalMonument #Dinosaur #Utah #NationalPark #Photography
Don't let developers get ahold of any public land. The wild places in the world are treasures which can't be lost. #NationalParks #DinosaurNationalMonument #Colorado #Photography
A massive tilted rock face at Dinosaur National Monument rises above a green river and tree-lined shore. The rock is streaked with geological layers and weathered patterns under an overcast sky.
What stories do these rocks still hold?
Layer after layer, ancient seas, shifting earth, and time itself etched into stone.
We’re just visitors here. Lucky ones.

YAMPA RIVER TOUR, DAY THREE: The rafters made a stop along the way to see pictographs, and set up camp on the river to take in the gorgeous scenery and fill up on tacos. #YampaRiver #DinosaurNationalMonument #Archaeology
Participants start down Dinosaur River.
Stubs Cabin, built in 1918, was the home of wild horse wrangler Stub Adams who trapped wild horses. The remains of a horse corral are nearby.
YAMPA RIVER TOUR, DAY TWO: After a safety briefing by Dinosaur River Expeditions, tour participants set off from the east end of Dinosaur National Monument. They visited Stubs' Cabin and Corral; saw fossils and Bighorn Sheep; and relaxed on the beach.

This webcam is located on the Quarry Exhibit Hall, home of the wall of dinosaur bones. It is pointed toward the highly eroded Split Mountain. You can also see numerous rock layers that are exposed and tilted on their side. Frequent viewers might catch the sun or moon rise over Split Mountain or maybe even a summer thunderstorm as it rolls through.

Petroglyphs of people, a bighorn sheep, and other symbols by the Fremont People on a reddish stone wall.
I am certain that if this was the only canvas available to me, I would have been one of the Fremont people chipping onto the wall and telling stories with pictures.
I love our National Parks and Monuments for all they preserve.

I encountered this weird cloud that looks like a monster from the MCU over #DinosaurNationalMonument in June of 2023. Anyone know what kind of cloud it is?

Beautiful sunset with pink and purple skies with clouds and the moon above an autumn colored oak tree near green river at split mountain campground at dinosaur national monument in Utah.
“I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn…”
-Langston Hughes.
Photo: "Dreamworld" - I loved seeing the #moon during sunset alongside the #GreenRiver near #SplitMountainCampground, #DinosaurNationalMonument, #utah. Oct 2020.
A Dusky Grouse stands in a sagebrush field on a highland plateau. Its mottled gray and brown plumage blends harmoniously with the surrounding dry vegetation. In the background is the wall of a rugged canyon and a hill inbetween, hinting at precipitous slopes behind the bird.
Dusky Grouse in the highlands (about 8000') of Dinosaur National Monument. The bird's in Colorado, but that's Utah in the background. Dinosaur has myriad treasures for creatures with natural history, paleontolology, or archaeology interests. #ProtectPublicLands #DinosaurNationalMonument #birding
Steamboat Rock in Dinosaur National Monument. Also could be a shark fin, but when was the last time you saw a shark in Colorado?
