Vernal, Utah & Flaming Gorge
May 23-26, 2003 - Our 2003 family trip was planned around a visit to Dinosaur National Monument, mostly due to the kids' over-zealous appetite and interest in dinosaurs. We decided to spend a little extra time admiring the National Monument, in addition to a detour to Flaming Gorge.
