Over a hundred million years ago, the area that is now Dinosaur National Monument attracted the behemoth creatures of its namesake with its plentiful supply of food and water. Renowned for its
world-famous fossil quarry, Dinosaur National Monument is also home to two of the West's legendary Whitewater rivers: the Yampa and the Green. In this new addition to the Desert Places series,
river runner and author Hal Crimmel, along with photographer Steve Gaffney, invite readers to partake in the beauty of Dinosaur National Monument's remote, rapids-filled canyons and wonder at
the unique ecological niches found in this high desert oasis.
