 | Dinosaurs are roaming the Desert Museum this winter, but 150 million years ago they roamed as far north as Colorado and Utah (and farther!). Join the Museum’s inaugural Dinosaur Tour as we follow the Jurassic spoors – bones and trackways – left by these creatures. This means not only museums but also in the field, visiting active quarries with a first-hand look at the hard dusty work behind new discoveries. As a very special component of this tour, we will be accompanied by vertebrate paleontologist, Advait M. Jukar, PhD, whose research and imagination will bring these creatures to life. Besides checking out All Things Dinosaur (e.g., dino roadside attractions in Holbrook), we’ll explore oil production in Rangely, Colorado; contemplate rock art left by Fremont Culture people; and visit the capitol of the Navajo Nation, Window Rock, New Mexico. And for river-lovers, we offer an optional one-day boat trip down the Green River between Flaming Gorge and Dinosaur National Monument. The wonders of the Great West! Itinerary and Trip Details |
