Broad sage-covered plateaus eventually give way to an increasingly narrow ridge. This promontory of land was named Harpers Corner after a local rancher who used it as a natural corral. A short length of fence across one end was enough to confine his livestock, as the other three sides fall away in sheer cliffs to the canyons below.
A parking lot marks the end of the Harpers Corner Road, however your explorations of Dinosaur’s Canyon Country don’t need to end here. You’ll also find the trailhead for a moderate 2 mile (3.2 km) roundtrip trail that features unsurpassed views of the Mitten Park Fault and Whirlpool Canyon, often complimented by the sound of the river echoing up the cliffs.
