The Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry at Jurassic National Monument is located
at 5800 feet. The site is one of the world`s most impressive collections of
dinosaur bones and fossils from the Jurassic Morrison Formation. Over 12,000
bones from at least 70 different prehistoric critters have been excavated
here. These bones have been reassembled and displayed in museums throughout
the world. More to the point is the fact that the deposit is the densest
concentration of Jurassic dinosaur bones ever found.

There is a self guided nature walk, and the visitor center is staffed by the
BLM through the use of employees and volunteers. The restrooms and the trail
at the quarry are accessible.

Operating hours for the 2022 season are 10am-5pm Thurs-Sunday, March 31 until
October 30.

Bird's eye view of the park

Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry

The Cinnamon colored buttes peppered by the evergreen colors of Juniper and
pinyon trees above Huntington State Park make for a beautiful setting. This
reservoir and park are located just outside the town of Huntington, Utah, and
sit between the mountains of the Wasatch Plateau and the desert of the San
Rafael Swell. Conveniently located only a couple of hours drive from Green
River and Salt Lake City the park makes a great base for watersports, fishing,
quiet camping, and exploring the surrounding area on foot, bike or OHV,
including the San Rafael Swell and Manti La-Sal National Forest.

After your morning session on the lake, pack a lunch and drive east into the
San Rafael Swell for an afternoon of exploring the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur
Quarry. Or check out the view from the Wedge Overlook then drive into Buckhorn
Wash to see the petroglyphs and suspension bridge. Note: travel in the San
Rafael Swell is on improved dirt BLM roads, which may become impassable when
wet. Make a reservation on the Utah State Parks reservation site
