Big Trip, Dinosaur National Monument

The last National Park we visited on our National Parks pass was actually a National Monument. 

We were prepared with umbrellas for a walk through the desert:  

We saw petroglyphs on our walk: 

This was when Leah's favorite color was orange: 

There was a place on the wall where you're allowed to touch a few of the real dinosaur bones embedded in the rock. On the opposite wall, they show where the other skeletons/fossils (outside of the preserved section of rock in the observation deck) wound up at different universities & museums. 

Here's the kids compared to a dinosaur bone: 

We rode the shuttle back from the observation deck to the visitor's center. (Pro tip: do this the opposite of us - ride the shuttle up & then walk back down! ha!)
