Dinosaur National Monument has some spectacular scenery and interesting geology.
Many areas also had nice fall color during this visit.
This is Split Mountain.
The Green River winds right through the middle
of it.
Split Mountain Campground near where the Green River exits the mountain
A little further downriver is the Green River Campground.

This outcrop clearly shows the "cross-bedded" layers of a petrified sand
dune.
This formation is called "Turtle Rock".
There are many exposures of the Morrison geologic formation in Dinosaur National Monument. The Morrison Formation contains these striking colorfully layered hills and is famous for containing Jurassic age dinosaur fossils.
