Monument lifts restrictions

DINOSAUR | Stage 1 fire restrictions within Dinosaur National Monument will be lifted beginning at midnight on Friday, Aug. 31, 2018. The slightly cooler temperatures and recent rainfall has reduced the fire danger. Monument visitors are reminded to still be cautious with fire as some areas may contain substantial amounts of dry vegetation. Smoking should be done only in cleared areas. Extinguish all campfires with water and dirt until embers are cool to the touch.
