I love that area so much... I grew up in vernal. We used to jump off overhangs into the lake when I was a kid. Thanks for posting this.
Btw, have they had the epiphany in vernal yet that the tourism for the Mormon temple isn't going to carry the town's economy? Have they stopped being dumbasses and reopened the dinosaur quarry?
Scrab; The quarry at Dinosaur National Monument recently got federal funding to build a new permanent visitor's center over the quarry wall. It is going to take a few years to complete, but at least they're moving in the right direction. I am glad it will be staying open; I was worried that it was going to be closed and that the important fossils were going to be funneled into Brigham Young University.
