Northeastern
Utah's spectacular Uinta Mountains make Dinosaurland
a winter sports wonderland. Over 250 miles of groomed and
ungroomed trails, ranging from 7,300 to 11,00 feet in elevation,
crisscross high mountain passes and gorgeous alpine meadows.
Stop along the way to catch your breath at breathtaking vistas.
Ever spent a night in a yurt? Yurts (think of them as high-tech
Mongolian teepees) are available to rent for overnight stays
by cross country skiers and snowmobile groups. The yurts are
about four to seven miles from the Flaming Gorge-Uintas National
Scenic Byway.
