6/29/08 - Salt Lake City, Utah



We went to the park headquarters of Dinosaur National Park. The main attraction of the park is the Dinosaur Quarry, a wall of rock exposing a large number of dinosaur bones which has a large exhibit building built around it. Unfortunately the building was closed because it had slipped off its foundation and repairs will not be completed for several years. We rode a bus to a hiking area. On our hike we saw some of the dinosaur bones which are exposed in the rock. We also checked out some of the numerous Indian petroglyphs in the park. In the afternoon we drove through steep mountain rodes to Timpanogos National Monument which is supposed to have a spectacular cave. When we got there we found that you have to get in line to see the cave early in the day, so we drove on to Salt Lake City and checked into the KOA campground. We had dinner at the Squatters Brewing brewpub, and also checked out the beers at Redrock Brewing. All of the beers were good, considering that they were 3.2% alcohol.
