February 10, 2026
When you stand on the cliffs overlooking Dinosaur National Monument, the landscape almost feels frozen in mid-motion…towering canyon walls, layers of sediment stacked like pages in a history book, and entire dinosaur skeletons still embedded in the rock. It shows evidence that something powerful swept across this place, buried creatures in an instant, and left behind a massive stone record of catastrophe.
