Dinosaur
National Monument covers over 211,000 acres of spectacular
canyon country. The Visitor's Center is located 2 miles east
of the town of Dinosaur on U.S. HWY 40 and provides specific
maps and information about this panoramic area. The National
Monument provides scenic drives, nature trails for hiking,
and incredible rafting and fishing opportunities on the Green
and Yampa Rivers (permits required).
The Moffat County entrance to the monument is is 90 miles from Craig on U.S. Highway 40 via Harper's Corner, a scenic route visitors call a glimpse of a "mini-grand canyon." There are several overlooks, hiking trails and camping opportunities throughout Dinosaur National Monument.
Currently, the quarry located in Jensen, Utah, is closed because of structural issues. It is expected to reopen in 2011.
Craig's
greatest resource is its people. Friendly and helpful, they
are always glad to share western hospitality!
