Highlights

  • Green River cottonwood bottom steps from the Dinosaur Quarry Exhibit Hall — world-class sauropod fossils visible in situ
  • Canyon of Lodore access; petroglyphs; dramatic Uinta red-rock country in NW Colorado — entirely distinct from all other CO entries
  • Far from any city; genuine frontier isolation just off US-40

Planning Notes

Echo Park (same monument) is NOT accessible for trailers of any size — Green River CG is the correct base camp for this rig. Max 30 ft. Summer valley heat exceeds 100°F; late April or September are ideal. Flush toilets; no hookups. Dinosaur, CO (2 mi) has fuel.
