At the heart of Dinosaurland is the Dinosaur National Monument. This national monument is a remembrance of a long ago world where the largest creatures once roamed and died. At this monument, you can view the “Wall of Bones” fossil quarry, where you can see over 1,500 bones all located in one mountainside. Aside from roaming where dinosaurs once had, you can learn about these large creatures and more at the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum. Take your time finding dinosaur tracks, exploring, fishing, boating in the Uintah Basin, camping and more as you discover the history of this small city.
