Dinosaur and Moab

The last few days we have been at Dinosaur National Monument and now we are in Moab. We drove from the Tetons to Dinosaur and stopped at a dam on the way there. 

We reenacted a dam.

We got to walk through a cool archway type thing and some of us climbed up a little bit. Here is Joey.

We were camping at Dinosaur, it was really fun and our camp site was beautiful!

View from camp, the Green River goes right by camp.

On our day in Dinosaur we measured how much sediment was in the Green River so that we could figure out the incision rate.

We rode a little bus thing up to the dinosaur museum.

The building was built around a wall of dinosaur bones.

Then we went out to find dinosaur tracks. Here is Ari.

It was really pretty.

Then we saw if we could outrun dinos...

And out walk!

A coyote walked through camp, it was cool.

Then we drove on to Moab. Here are Dave and Cat at one of our stops.

We did a little bouldering a small rock.

Some cool petroglyphs.

And then some big bouldering. Here are Gerben and Paige about to enter.
