Dinosaurs!
Yep, today was pretty much awesome. We went to Dinosaur National Monument and got to see the formation that contains a lot of the large dinosaur bones. They built the exhibit around the outcrop, so you know that the bones are in place and real, which was amazing.
Later on, we found tracks of these dinos on an outcrop overlooking a reservoir. Using their foot size and stride length, we could figure out how big they were and how fast they were moving. At the end of the day, it was only natural to see if we could outrun the dinosaurs. We found the same metrics and then tested our walking, jogging, and sprinting stride length. It is a good thing we weren't alive during their time, or we'd be lunch!
