Dinosaurland:
Dinosaurland, a wonder to behold for both kids and adults. Nowhere else will you find so much fascinating evidence of the dinosaur age. The awe of the dinosaurs is matched only by the hiking, biking, world-class fishing, and – of course – the world-famous red rock canyons that await in Flaming Gorge Country. But the fun doesn’t stop when the snow starts to fly. That’s when cross-country skiing trails and amazing snowmobile excursions take you right through the heart of a winter wonderland. And Yurt rentals provide a unique experience that’s not easily duplicated elsewhere.
