NPS Photo Visitor Center HoursThe visitor center is open year-round, but hours vary depending on the season.
Visit the visitor center and museum to see prepared fossils on display. Fossils are not visible on trails as most fossils are trapped within horizontal layers of rock; they must be split and prepared before you can view the diversity and abundance of fossils found in this area. Seasonal ClosuresThe entrance road gate is closed only during severe winter storms. The scenic drive with access to the picnic area and Nature Trail is closed from November until late May (weather-dependent). |
