Covering over 512 miles, it includes two national parks (Arches and Canyonlands), two national monuments (Dinosaur and Colorado), as well as both the Colorado and Green Rivers. Along with the dinosaur resources on the route, you'll find some of the oldest art in the world at McConkie Ranch, Canyon Pintado, and Nine-Mile Canyon. With high mountains, barren plateaus, deserts, rivers, cities and small towns, the Diamond is a national treasure right in our own backyard.
