I had been wanting to see the Dinosaur Journey Museum which is a part of the Museum of Western Colorado for some time. I let Bruce know that I wanted to stop in Fruita, CO to see the Dinosaur Journey Museum and I asked if we should stop on the way to Moab, UT or if we should stop on our way back.
Bruce felt it would be a good stopping point on the way to Moab, UT. Once we got to Fruita, the signs to the museum were posted along I-70 and the along the exist. The museum was close to the exist and easy to find. I did not take a picture of the outside.
I felt the museum was well set up and had great exhibits. They had a small gift shop as well.
WARNING – I took a LOT of pictures of the exhibits. I still love dinosaurs and fossils the way I did as a child.
Dinosaur Straches I love the claw shadow! Very Round Egg Looking Down! I got such a kick out of this guy!
Another fave! We frequently would camp at James Robb State Park when RV’ing in the area and on those road trip occasions by car there is a dog-friendly (waves to Nox!) La Quinta next door to the museum (appropriately on “Raptor Road.”). Driving through the Colorado Monument is great fun, too.
