Utahraptor State Park
About 15 miles northwest of Moab, this state park protects the Dalton Wells Quarry, one of the largest dinosaur bone beds in North America. More than 5,500 bones from over ten dinosaur species have come out of it, including Utahraptor, Gastonia and Moabosaurus. The visitor center displays fossils including dinosaur claws and skulls, rangers lead quarry hikes and fossil talks, and the park also interprets the Dalton Wells CCC camp and the Moab Isolation Center site.
