Travel: Overnighting in Vernal 2025-10-13 - Vernal, Utah - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com. Robert writes, "Leaving Harper's Corner in Colorado, it was time to cross over into Utah... but not before we passed through Dinosaur, Colorado.

Not to be outdone, the much larger town of Vernal has them displayed (seemed like every corner of most businesses) as well. The navigator temporarily set aside her duties by attempting to capture as many images she could of the Dinos to show the Grandchildren when we got back home. This scene of the colorful Bentonite Clay hills was taken the following morning along the way to Sheep Creek Canyon and the Flaming Gorge Reservoir."
