Aside from the tent fiasco, we had a great time in Dinosaur National Monument. It is by far the least crowded of the parks we've visited.We had our rafting trip
on Sunday, July 12 - Berhanu's 7th birthday.
We all had a
blast rafting, and then floating, down the Green River. (We were
able to jump out of the boat and float down the river for awhile.) Class II and III rapids were perfect for the kids. This is a photo of Split Mountain Canyon where we rafted on the Green River. The photo is not great, but it gives an idea of the beauty of this area.
We stopped to see petroglyphs created about 800 to 1,000 years ago by the Fremont culture of Native Americans.
On Monday we were excited to hike into the quarry where there are still dinosaur fossils to be seen in the canyon walls. If you look closely at the photo, you will see the tail vertebrae in the rock where the white arrow is pointing.
Berhanu had a lot of questions for the ranger! He wants to be sure to report his findings to his friend Blue.
