They smiled the whole way

 The little town of Dinosaur plays host to the visitor center.   

All Bev needs is to get a dog and then move onto the crosswalk.  

Joe poses in along side this sign just inside the entrance gate.

After a long drive, Andy is all smiles at the Harper's Corner trail-head.  In the background is Steamboat Rock.  This is where the Green and the Yampa rivers converge.  

There are many scenic views from the trail.

The road in the valley is the one we will take later this day.

The point of convergence is hidden behind the cliff.  In order to see it, one must hike.  Oh well, maybe in my next lifetime! 

The strata of the white cliffs and the red cliffs are almost perpendicular.  This indicates major faulting during a geological time long ago.   

I understand the locals call these little green areas parks.  They really are beautiful.  

Joe and Andy blazing the trail for me.  

Steamboat Rock.  Notice the ancient oxbow circle formed by a meandering river millions of years ago.

Telescopic shot of Steamboat Rock.  The Green and the Yampa converge right behind this cliff.

The Yampa just before the convergence behind the rock.

This is one of my favorite photos.  We would soon be on this road.

Harper's Corner Trail.  Yes, they smiled the whole way.

Great picture of Steamboat Rock.

The Green River after the convergence.  

Notice the uplift of the strata.  

View of Steamboat Rock in the background.  This is one of my favorite pics, ever.
