Dinosaur National Monument covers one of the most productive sources of dinosaur bones in the world. The quarry contains some 1,600 exposed bones from 11 different dinosaur species. Near the quarry is a short nature hike, a pleasant scenic drive, Indian petroglyphs, and the preserved cabin of a homesteader. Dinosaur National Monument was later expanded to include 300 square miles of great, high desert canyon country through which the Green and Yampa Rivers flow.

KOA Campgrounds near Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area include Flaming Gorge KOA and Vernal KOA.
