64 to Dinosaur, and then east on Hwy. 40 to Vernal, Utah. Out of Vernal you'll take Hwy. 191 north to Dutch John. A better travel solution from Denver is to take I-25 north to Cheyenne, Wyoming, then I-80 west to Rock Springs (or take the Colo. 287 shortcut at Fort Collins north to Laramie). At Rock Springs take Hwy. 191 south to Dutch John, Utah. There are no mountains to traverse on this route.
