Biographical / Historical

Dinosaur National Monument is an American national monument located on the southeast flank of the Uinta Mountains on the border between Colorado and Utah at the confluence of the Green and Yampa rivers. Although most of the monument area is in Moffat County, Colorado, the Dinosaur Quarry is located in Utah, north of the town of Jensen, Utah. The nearest Colorado town is Dinosaur while the nearest city is Vernal, Utah. It was originally preserved in 1915 to protect its famous Dinosaur Quarry and expanded in 1938. In July 1965, Robert and Ethel Kennedy took a 3-day river trip on the Yampa and Green rivers in western Colorado and eastern Utah with five of their children.
