Petroglyphs hint at earlier cultures. Later, homesteaders and outlaws found refuge here. Whether your passion is science, adventure, history or scenery, Dinosaur offers much to explore.
Dinosaur National Monument is located on the Colorado and Utah border with a parts of the monument in both states. Dinosaur fossils are not visible in the Colorado portion of the monument - only on the Utah side. The Quarry Visitor Center and Exhibit Hall (where you see the dinosaur fossils) are located approximately 7 miles north of Jensen, Utah.

Best season: summer. Summer offers the warmest, steadiest conditions for boating and floating the Green River through Split Mountain Canyon, with daytime highs commonly in the mid-80s to mid-90s F and cool nights in the 50s–60s. Watercraft activity is at its peak, giving you the best chance for long river runs, canyon photography, and easy access to the Rainbow Park boat ramp. Expect longer daylight and generally dry access-road conditions, though brief monsoon storms can make the unpaved road temporarily impassable Peak months: June, July, September, October Avoid: December, January, February
Summer offers warm, stable weather and favorable water levels for river runs.
Rainbow Park Campground sits beside the Green River near the Rainbow Park Boat Ramp and is accessed via an unpaved dirt road that is impassable when wet. The campground is open year‑round, but there is no winter maintenance on the unpaved access road.
