Humanities in the Wild: Going Jurassic with Larry Cesspooch and Mary Beth Bennis

Join us for an exploratory outdoor experience that encourages you to step into the beautiful and rugged landscape of Red Fleet State Park’s Dinosaur Trackway. Traverse a trail once trekked by dinosaurs with paleontologist and geologist Mary Beth Bennis and Ute storyteller and creator Larry Cesspooch. And learn about the science, history, and water story behind Red Fleet State Park along the way. The evening will end with light refreshments and conversations about the environment and humanities.

This event is part of H2O Today, a Smithsonian exhibition that explores the beauty and essential nature of water, our planet’s lifeblood. The exhibition traveling in Utah also features our state’s unique relationship with water and how it shapes how we live.

H2O Today is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and is touring Utah in partnership with Utah Humanities and the Uintah County Heritage Museum. The tour is part of Think Water Utah, a statewide collaboration and conversation on the critical topic of water presented by Utah Humanities and its partners.
