Chris Pratt helped the state celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument with a special message.
On Saturday, September 18, the Bureau of Land Management Utah (BLM) marked the anniversary with keynote speakers, a new audio series, virtual artwork, and a special birthday message from the Jurassic World star.
“It’s one of the coolest dinosaur places in the world,” Pratt says in the video below. “Numerous fossils over 75 million years old have been found.”
The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is a natural wonder located in southern Utah and is known for hiking, camping, ATV-riding, and fishing, according to ABC4.
According to officials, the monument is about the size of Delaware and has natural artifacts dating from 50 million years old to 275 million years old.
The area was declared a national monument by President Bill Clinton in 1996 and has had many prehistoric paleontology discoveries.
