Dinosaur Park

001
  These five dinosaurs have been looking down on Rapid City since 1936. They’re a Works Progress Administration project, designed to provide jobs for the unemployed during the depression and bring tourists to the city. They’re built with concrete over iron pipes and are not very accurate depictions but that’s part of the fun. :- )

  Unfortunately we didn’t get to see them up close because of the many, many steps leading to their platforms.

The road, Skyline Driv , is steep with many curves so visitors with large RVs may not want to attempt the drive. The parking lot is large enough for RVs. Park
