Josie Bassett Morris was a rugged individualist. She lived alone in an isolated, yet beautiful canyon for nearly 60 years. Lacking electricity, indoor plumbing and neighbors, she thrived on her own. Her homestead is located at the end of the Tour of the Tilted Rocks self-guided auto tour near the Temporary Visitor Center.

Did You Know?
Dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago, but lizards are still a common sight at Dinosaur National Monument. The small, inquisitive reptiles have endured on Earth for more than 300 million years, far outlasting their giant cousins.
