Places In Uintah County I Would Like to Visit

         If I were to take a road trip to Uintah County, there are several places I would like to visit.  Uintah County has a variety of unique places, from dinosaur museums to national parks.  The three places that I would really like to see the most are Dinosaur National Monument, the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum, and Fantasy Canyon.

         The first place I would like to visit is Dinosaur National Monument.  It has one of the largest dinosaur bone collections in the world from the Jurassic Period.  Visitors can literally see dinosaur bones sticking out of the mountain quarry.  Visitors can also see petroglyphs made by ancient Indians.

         The second place I would like to visit is the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park in Vernal, UT.  One area of the museum uses different colored floor tiles to represent the different ages of rock.  Visitors can see the changes in the land, beginning from 149 million years ago to the present as they walk around the museum.

         The third place I would like to visit is Fantasy Canyon.  The rocks there have been eroded away and now look like creatures from a fantasy story.  Because of the ominous rock figures, it has also been called “The Devil’s Playground” and “Hades Pit.”

         Uintah County has a variety of interesting places to explore that appeal to visitors both young and old.  I would really like to go and see the dinosaur exhibits and parks and experience the beauty of nature there.
