Dinosaur National Monument Quarry Visitor Center and Exhibit Hall Grand Opening
Dinosaur National Monument is planning to celebrate the Grand Opening of our new Quarry Visitor Center and Quarry Exhibit Hall which is located over the site of the world famous Carnegie Dinosaur Quarry.
Overview
The Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway is a showcase of intrinsic qualities. Its world-class dinosaur, fossil and archaeological resources, including rock art, are second to none. Its recreational resources alone attract people from all over the globe.
The Dinosaur Diamond's scenic resources are so spectacular that two national parks and two national monuments embrace only some of them.
Its complex and revealing geology attract rock hounds and geologists from afar. Its cultural and historic traditions bring together the rich histories of prehistoric inhabitants, Native Americans, and western settlers. The combined magnitude of these resources warrant All-American Road designation under the National Scenic Byways Program. It would be difficult to find another region that embraces so much. Fortunately, many of its most precious resources are being actively protected.
The Dinosaur Diamond region is a marvel of geological, natural, and scenic resources that are intertwined with other intrinsic values of Scenic byway classification. These include all the national parks and monuments and national forests.
