Sound of Silence Trail: Tilted Landscapes

Dinosaur National Monument

  • 2 - 3 hours
  • 17 tour stops

While you hike through one of the quietest places in the West, natural sounds will prevail, including the call of birds and the rustle of wind through the plants. Though we may associate this place with quiet, the landscape can speak to us - if we are ready to listen. Numbered signposts along the trail correspond with this tour, taking you through different habitats and millions of years of time.
