The Dinosaur Diamond National Scenic Byway spans 512 miles through Utah and Colorado and, yes, it’s shaped like a giant diamond. You can start at any of the fossil quarries or along the loop; the town of Dinosaur, Colorado may be the most fitting spot to begin your prehistoric adventure. It takes about three or four days to traverse the entire trail and you’ll pass through locations like Dinosaur National Monument in Quarry Jensen, UT, the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail in Moab, UT, and the Dinosaur Garden in Vernal, UT.
