Dinosaur

Dinosaur is best known in Colorado for its close association with Dinosaur National Monument. The small town lies in the state’s far northwest, near the Utah line and the monument’s Colorado section, where the Green and Yampa rivers cut through the canyons of the Colorado Plateau. Fossil discoveries in the area helped establish the monument in 1915; its celebrated quarry preserves a dense concentration of Jurassic dinosaur bones. Dinosaur is also a practical stop on US Route 40 for travellers crossing this sparsely settled corner of the state.
