There is a lot of it in Utah Called Dinosaur National Momument. No real evidence of dinosaurs unless you hike into the canyon. The Utah side has a really pretty drive on open range that is about 20 miles up into a winding road. There are cattle, deer and other critters along the area so you don't want to speed.
At the end of the drive is a parking lot, a concrete "outhouse" type of bathroom, bear proof dumpsters, and a one mile hike out away from the road. That canyon above is huge, that is one photo of many I took. On that entire journey we saw one other family group of three people. It was very secluded, and pretty. We did the Colorado side as well, and got to get up close and personal with the fossils.
That photo I posted still has the GPS data included. If you want you can find the location.
Edit, I got curious. It is all just North of Vernal, UT. Highway 191 goes up into the area, through a state park to a road called Little Valley road. At some point the open range road is a road that goes up into the park. It was a hot day.
