If you enjoyed this national monument, then give Clayton Lake in NE New Mexico a try.
Back in the 1950s(?) , the state put an earthen dam on a small river. At some point later, they added a spillway around the dam in case there was ever a flood. The spillway required the removal of a few feet of rock.
Then a flood happened in the 80s and really scoured the spillway. When I dried out, over a hundred dinosaur tracks were found.
