  • On Our Drive Back Through Utah from Rocky Mountain National Park, We Had a Couple of Hours to Stop at the Dinosaur National Monu
    DINOSAUR NATIONAL MONUMENT: QUARRY EXHIBIT HALL, SPLIT MOUNTAIN VIEWPOINT, AND SWELTER SHELTER ! PETROGLYPHS AND PICTOGRAPHS On our drive back through Utah from Rocky Mountain National Park, we had a couple of hours to stop at the Dinosaur National Monument after driving out of RMNP through the Trail Ridge Road. Best known for the huge wall of dinosaur fossils, protected by a large and enclosed building, which visitors can see by taking a shuttle bus from the main visitors center, this national monument also has a surprising collection of amazing rock formations. Unfortunately, we did not have time to see much of the monument, but there are many paved, dirt, and 4WD access roads to overlooks of the Green and Yampa Rivers, petroglyphs and pictographs, slot canyons, and historical cabins. After visiting the Quarry Exhibit Hall, we briefly checked out the Fossil Discovery Trail, then continued on to an overlook of Split Mountain and the Green River. We had considered continuing along this road to see more overlooks on the way to the Josie Morris Cabin, but we didn't have enough time, and therefore only were able to stop at the Swelter Shelter petroglyphs and !pictographs. The views from Trail Ridge Road on our drive out of Rocky Mountain National Park were a little different on such a clear day; this is Sundance Mountain pictured below: ! ! There was still quite a bit of snow on the peaks, making for good photography again: ! ! Looking over towards the Gorge Lakes (in the valley to the left, with Arrowhead Lake visibly iced over and Highest

State of the Park Report for Rocky Mountain National Park. State of the Park Series No. 50. National Park Service, Washington, DC. On the cover: Hallett Peak reflected in Dream Lake. NPS Photo. Disclaimer. This State of the Park report summarizes the current condition of park resources, visitor experience, and park infrastructure as assessed by a combination of available factual information and the expert opinion and professional judgment of park staff and subject matter experts. The internet version of this report provides additional details and sources of information about the findings summarized in the report, including references, accounts on the origin and quality of the data, and the methods and analytic approaches used in data collection and assessments of condition. This report provides evaluations of status and trends based on interpretation by NPS scientists and managers of both quantitative and non-quantitative assessments and observations. Future condition ratings may differ from findings in this report as new data and knowledge become available. The park superintendent approved the publication of this report. Executive Summary The mission of the National Park Service is to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of national parks for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. NPS Management Policies (2006) state that “The Service will also strive to ensure that park resources and values are passed on to future generations in a condition that is as good as, or better than, the conditions that exist today.” As part of the stewardship of national parks for the American people, the NPS has begun to develop State of the Park reports to assess the overall status and trends of each park’s resources.
