Park Service rebuilding Dinosaur's Quarry Visitor Center
Good Earth Day news came out of Washington, D.C.
As part of a large investment in national parks, the Dinosaur National Park Quarry Visitor Center near Jensen that has been closed since July of 2006 due to safety and structural concerns will be rebuilt for $13 million.
Thank goodness.
Though Dinosaur has much to offer in the way of scenery, river rafting and history, the exposed bones in the quarry were always its big draw and one of the most unique exhibits of its kind anywhere in the world. It's been missed by the thousands of families who enjoy visiting Utah's many dinosaur museums and outdoor attractions.
Soon it will be possible to enjoy the quarry again, coupling it with a visit to the excellent Utah Fieldhouse of Natural History in Vernal and then making the Drive Through the Ages from Vernal to Flaming Gorge.
