Dinosaur National Monument

  • 3 - 6 hours
  • 5 tour stops

Since time immemorial, people have called this place home. While some cultural groups left little evidence of their presence, others made lasting marks on the landscape. Petroglyphs (etchings) and pictographs (paintings) created on the rocks centuries ago offer an intriguing connection to the people and cultures of the past. This self-guided tour will traverse the landscape once traveled by the ancestral indigenous people of the region well over 1,000 years ago.
