Tips from locals
This is one of the richest and most diverse fossil deposits in the world. Petrified redwood stumps up to 14 feet wide and thousands of detailed fossils of insects and plants reveal the story of a very different, prehistoric Colorado.
Right down the road from the cabin, so it's always good to check and take a few of the simple trails and look at some fossils.
These fossil beds of ancient redwoods are a fascinating walk in history. In addition to the fossils, it offers a number of picnicking, hiking and biking places.
Hike through the fossil beds and see nature! Learn a lot about the area basin. Great day trip and only 20-25 min drive from RV.
