Did you know Dinosaur National Monument offers accessible materials for visitors with low or no vision?

Stop by the Quarry Visitor Center to pick up our large‑print and braille brochures, or explore the monument using the free NPS App, which includes audio tours for our scenic drives and hiking trails.

We also offer captioned and audio‑described videos on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/. Our park film is captioned and audio described, just ask for the audio description listening headset at the front desk or watch it on our website. You can also ask to experience the tactile replicas of quarry fossils and parts of the Wall of Bones during your visit.

Learn more about accessibility at the monument here: https://www.nps.gov/dino/planyourvisit/accessibility.htm

We’re always happy to help you have the best visit possible!

Ever stood in front of the Bone Wall and thought, “Wait… which bone is that?”

You’re not alone — it’s one of the most common questions our rangers get in the Quarry Exhibit Hall!

To help you explore the wall like a pro, we have a handy Bone Guide for sale. It includes maps of different sections of the Bone Wall and highlights many of the fossils on display. With more than 1,500 bones in the wall, it doesn’t cover every single one — but it covers a whole lot of them!
You can pick up a copy at the Dino Store or grab one for a $1.00 donation at the Quarry Exhibit Hall.

Bonus tip: the Bone Guide also makes an awesome coloring book. Choose a color for each dinosaur listed on the back cover, then color in that species across the pages. Fun fact: this is actually how many of our rangers learned to memorize the bones in the wall!

If you’ve used the guide before — or have your own Bone Wall photos — drop them in the comments. We’d love to see your adventures!

Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to the United States. The Bureau of Reclamation recognizes their sacrifice and reflects on the freedoms made possible through their service.

Today, we pause in gratitude and remembrance.

Flaming Gorge Reservoir water elevations are expected to be lower than normal this year due to long‑term drought conditions and increased releases from Flaming Gorge Dam. As water levels drop, access to and use of certain facilities around the reservoir may be affected.

Lower water levels can expose offshore hazards that are normally deep enough to avoid, such as rocks, debris, logs and other objects. Boaters should check current water levels before heading out and know their boat’s draft, or minimum depth needed for the vessel to float without touching bottom.
