Echo Park, Dinosaur National Monument

Echo Park, Dinosaur National Monument

 

Dinosaur National Monument is located in the northwest corner of Colorado and spans the border into northeast Utah. The area is a long way from most anything. The towns of Dinosaur, Colorado and Vernal, Utah are the closest places to get gas. Coming from Colorado, Rangley is the last place with a grocery store for grabbing camping supplies.

The Echo Park campground is an amazing place to spend the night. This is a bit of a concession for those who like to camp primitively on BLM lands but worth the $8 fee to spend the night. The campground is surrounded by 500′ walls of sandstone and sits adjacent to a large bend in the at that point Green River, however the campground is withing walking distance of the confluence of the Yampa River and the Green.
