Vernal was one of the towns on our list of possible retirement locations. Just driving into town from the east changed our mind. This is an oil town...Very blue collar. Was bigger than I had figured but it was not what I expected. No tourism here. So, we scratched it from the list. We were not really expecting much as it was at the northern edge of possible locations anyway. Welcome to Utah
Driving into Dinosaur. We arrived late and the Quarry was closing so we did not get to go in.
Views from the Visitor center.
Since the visitor center / Quarry was closed we continued into the Monument. We stopped at the petroglyphs along the road.
Where the Green river comes out of the Split Mountain Canyon. We walked a short distance up into the canyon along the Green
The Daniels / Chew Ranch
More petroglyphs along the road. We drove a few miles up Blue Mountain road which leads to the Eastern part of the Monument. It looked passible with a high clearance vehicle.
Josie Bassett Morris homestead. Interesting area with many springs.
Along one of the roads in the monument
