Dinosaur National Monument

The View from our Apartment

We're finishing up day three here at Dinosaur National Monument (DINO). Melanie has a couple of work days behind her and I've taken a couple of very nice bicycle rides on Cub Creek Road which runs in front of our residence and east past two campgrounds and various sites within the monument.

The month before we arrived here neither of us got much exercise as travel up the California and Oregon Coasts accompanied by cool and/or rainy weather didn't permit it. Couple that with being at nearly 5,000' above sea level here in Jensen, Utah and I'm feeling the miles I've put in on the bike over the past couple of days.

It's early, but Melanie tells me she's enjoying the new environs here at DINO and the folks with whom she's going to be working.

The landscape here is other worldly. Here are a few images from today's cycling. I'll fill in the blanks as the season progresses.
