Driving the Byway
The Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway travels through two states (Colorado and Utah), creating a loop that resembles a diamond shape. The byway begins in Grand Junction, CO and travels west through Moab, Green River, Price, Vernal, then crosses back into Colorado to Rangely, Fruita, and back to Grand Junction. The byway can be followed to the north going in a counterclockwise direction, or to the west, going in a clockwise direction.
The National Scenic Byways Program recognizes highways that are outstanding examples of our nation's beauty, history, culture, and recreational experience by designating them as All-American Roads and National Scenic Byways. The roads being featured were designated by the Secretary of Transportation from nominations submitted by the states and federal land management agencies. These designations provide a compass for people from all over the world to explore America's treasured open roads.
