A National monument is a monument constructed in order to commemorate something of national importance such as a war or the country's founding. The term may also refer to a specific monument status, such as a national heritage site, which most national monuments are by reason of their cultural importance rather than age. The National monument aims to represent the nation, and serve as a focus for national identity.
A series of structures or areas deemed to be of national importance and therefore afforded protection by the state are part of a country's cultural heritage. These national heritage sites are often called something different per country and are listed by national conservation societies. Romania has listed at least one plant as a national monument, Nymphaea lotus f. thermalis.
Examples include:
Dinosaur National Monument is a U.S. National Monument located on the southeast flank of the Uinta Mountains on the border between Colorado and Utah at the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers. Although most of the monument area is in Moffat County, Colorado, the Dinosaur Quarry 40°26′29″N 109°18′04″W / 40.44139°N 109.30111°W / 40.44139; -109.30111 is located in Utah just to the north of the town of Jensen, Utah.
The nearest communities are Vernal, Utah and Dinosaur, Colorado. This park contains over 800 paleontological sites and has fossils of dinosaurs including Allosaurus, Deinonychus, Abydosaurus (a nearly complete skull, lower jaws and first four neck vertebrae of the specimen DINO 16488 found here at the base of the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation is the holotype for the description) and various long-neck, long-tail sauropods. It was declared a National Monument on October 4, 1915.
The rock layer enclosing the fossils is a sandstone and conglomerate bed of alluvial or river bed origin known as the Morrison Formation from the Jurassic Period some 150 million years old. The dinosaurs and other ancient animals were carried by the river system which eventually entombed their remains.
National may refer to:
Dinosaurs are a diverse group of animals of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, 231.4 million years ago, and were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for 135 million years, from the start of the Jurassic (about 200 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous (66 million years ago), when the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event led to the extinction of most dinosaur groups at the end of the Mesozoic Era. Until the late 20th century, all groups were believed to be extinct; however, the fossil record indicates that birds are modern feathered dinosaurs, having evolved from theropod ancestors during the Jurassic Period. As such, birds were the only dinosaurs to survive the mass extinction event.

Dinosaur National Monument straddles the borders of Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. Much of it can be accessed only by winding dirt roads. Its stellar attractions include a Dinosaur Quarry building, which shelters a fossilized cliff from which 1,500 dinosaur bones and fragments jut. There are a number of spectacular high overlooks scattered through the Monument, including a spectacular gorge towering above the Green River called the Gates of Lodore in the northern (Wyoming) corner. Another very special place is Echo Park, also called 'The Center of the Universe' a favorite paradise for river rafters. The most amazing formation we experience may also be the best high viewing site in the entire southwest, rivaling the great walls of the Grand Canyon. That site is called Harper's Corner. ...
08/09/14 Dinosaur National Monument - Paleontologist Earl Douglass discovered and began excavating these fossils in 1909 for the Carnegie Museum. In 1915 the Carnegie Quarry's world-class bones of late Jurassic dinosaurs were protected in this 80 acre preserve. In todays's 210,000 acre national monument you can explore the quarry and the scenic and historic Green and Yampa Rivers, their canyons, mountains, basins and archeological sites and 23 colorful rock layers of the Colorado Plateau. The monument extends east from here into Colorado and there is another entrance at that location.

This video was shot with a GoPro Hero 3 mounted on the windshield of my car as I drove down Echo Park Road in Dinosaur National Monument. The road starts at 7500 feet at Harpers Corner Road in the canyons section of the national monument in Utah, and descends 2500 feet to the Echo Park in Colorado. Echo Park is on the Green River just below the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers. The end of the video includes a panorama of the meadow and surrounding cliffs next to the confluence at the end of the one mile hike out to where the Yampa River empties into the Green River. Echo Park Road is 13 miles long, and is steep in the first mile of switchbacks. This section is impassable if wet. This was shot on 17 October 2015.

10-28-2013 Dinosaur National Monument Park After visiting Josie Bassett Morris' (A Real Pioneer) home, I decided to take the gravel road to Blue Mountain. The map they gave me at the visitor's station showed a few dotted lines & ended. I thought it was taking me back to a vista, and would view the mountain from there. Wrong!!! After 5 miles on this road, the road was getting worse, and like the sign said "recommended 4 wheel drive only". Who actually believes what signs say? Plus you are talking about me, if a 4 wheel drive can do it; I can do it. Wrong Again!!!! It was getting worse by the foot, and I wasn't going to turn back. My biggest concern was a sharp rock puncturing my tire/s, and I only had one spare. On I went, and came to a T road, county road 1550 (didn't know that at the time...

Are we asking TOO much? ____________________________________ ABOUT DINOSAUR NATIONAL MONUMENT Dinosaur National Monument is what the dreams of geologists, paleontologists and children are made of! Dinosaurs everywhere. Dinosaur National Monument takes its name from a remarkable deposit of fossil bones of crocodiles, turtles and 10 species of dinosaurs from 150 million years ago. Long ago, dynamic forces pushed and tilted layers of rock upward. Later, erosion exposed the layers as colorful ridges and revealed remnants of ancient ecosystems...

White water rafting trip on the Green River through Dinosaur National Monument organized by Thelma Coles and Mike Smith. We covered 45 miles from the Gates of Ladore in Colorado to take out at Split Mountain in Utah. We were lucky to have Bill Oliver and Beth Galiger on board for music every evening around the fire. In addition, the CD "Friend of the River" features Bill Oliver and the Otter Space Band on as with many of the video's themes. You can catch up with Bill and his music at www.MrHabitat.net or www.billolivermusic.com
