A big secret to touring the West is to remember to plan enough time to savor the scenery and adventures you might find along the way! One such area is Northeastern Utah (we call it Dinosaurland) an easy day’s drive south of Yellowstone National Park.
The landscapes are always changing as you travel through this region. We have serene desert terrain of the Dinosaur National Monument, to high alpine reaches of the High Uintas Wilderness to vast, sweeping splendor of Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.
In the old days, Dinosaurs ruled this land. In nearby Vernal, kids can spot large dinosaurs all over town. In fact, they surround the new Utah State Field House Museum!
The huge array of Outdoor Recreation brings most folks to our neck of the woods. At the top of that list is world-class fishing. The famed Green River is regarded as one of the finest tailwater fisheries in the world! Many state record fish have come from Lake Flaming Gorge, a boating paradise. You can also enjoy horseback riding, mountain biking, rafting,and hiking – the choices are endless!
