I was just in Moab. Utah to visit Arches Nat Park and Canyon Lands Nat Park and when you look down through all those layers of time it’s completely mind blowing to think that these creatures roamed the Earth.

It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve seen. You get right nose-to-nose with it, and it’s just so present, like it could come alive at any moment.
I love that museum; if you ever find yourself in Alberta, take a detour to Drumheller
