![]() NPS Photo Fossil Quarry Program On Fridays and Saturdays during the middle of the summer, visit our research quarry and learn about how fossils are found. You can't keep any fossils, but you'll have fun learning how fossils and scientific information are collected. This program is available Fridays and Saturdays from July 4, 2025 through August 30, 2025 11 am to 3 pm (closed Saturday August 16th). Be aware that there is no shade, water, or restrooms available at the quarry. The hike to the quarry is 3/4 mile (1.2 km) with over 300 ft (91 m) elevation gain. Wear comfortable hiking boots and bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and insect repellent. If you have not been to the quarry before, stop by the visitor center for directions. |
