Itenerary
FRIDAY, June 5, at 7:00pm in the evening we will gather in the breakfast room at the Resides In for introductions, announcements, fellowship and snacks (provided).
SATURDAY, June 6, we will hike to a dinosaur track site in Red Fleet State Park, then drive to the Quarry at Dinosaur National Monument to see a natural wall with over 1500 dinosaur bones. From there we will hike down a hill that shows how fossils are found in nature. At the end of the day we will gather at a local inexpensive restaurant for dinner.
SUNDAY, June 7, we will start early for a drive to a 2500 foot canyon cut by the Green River. At Harper's Corner we will have a devotional and then take a moderate hike for an awesome view. From Harper's Corner it is a six hour drive back to Denver. That will make a long day but the view is worth it.
What to bring: Be ready for three hikes. Include appropriate shoes, clothes, hats, sunscreen, snacks, and WATER. Bring a lunch for Saturday.
Additional Activity
A trip to the Utah Field House of Natural History is highly recommended. It houses an extensive collection of fossils from many sites, along with impressive full-size replicas of prehistoric animals in an outdoor Garden. The cost is $7 for adults and $3.50 for children. If you would like to participate in a group trip to the museum, please let us know that on your email registration. We will gather at the Museum, 496 East Main Street, in Vernal, at 3 pm on Friday the 5th. The museum is only open until 5 pm.
