Over the Thanksgiving weekend November of '08, Scott and I took a trip to Dinosaur National Monument. I've heard it described as Utah's best kept secret, given the popularity of other Utah destinations like Zion and Arches National Parks.
Our expedition took place during the off-season and we encountered only one or two other tourists in the area. The place was nearly deserted, save for the quiet presence you sense of the land's private movements. In isolated places, there is always a sense of being the voyer to Nature's grand orchestrations.
Dinosaur made us aware of the amazing beauty that Utah has to offer. I took photos with my digital camera like a fiend, and had to sort through hundreds of images to select the best ones.
Take a look at our Dinosaur National Monument Photo Gallery and marvel at the beauty with us.
