Dinosaur National Monument can be a bit out of the way and tough to get to but, wow, if you are willing to make the effort to go, you will be rewarded. Originally declared a National Monument in 1915, dinosaur fossil beds were discovered in 1909 and since that time, it has become one of the highest densities of well-preserved dinosaur fossils on earth.
Moraine Park Campground, at 8,160 feet, is the largest campground in Rocky Mountain National Park but it doesn't feel that way. It conceals its size by situating itself over many rolling hills on the northern slope of Moraine Park, which isolates sections of the campground from one another. It offers incredible views of Moraine Park below it and the mountain peaks that surround it, including Long's Peak, the tallest mountain in the park at 14, 258 feet.
Many Glacier is the best campground we have ever stayed at. I now fully understand why it is one of the most difficult campsites to get a reservation at in the entire National Park Service.
