Fossil Discovery Trail

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:23:51

This short interpretive trail is excellent for families as it's only 0.75 miles long and you can reach out and touch the bones of dinosaurs. Regardless of your knowledge or understanding of paleontology, this is a stunning walk through some 65 million years of history.

Walking along the hillside, visitors enter a small canyon, eventually arriving at the Morrison Formation, one of the most spectacular open-air collections of dinosaur bones in the world. The bones in these walls represent 10 species that range in size from about 7in to 76ft.
