A GOOD REASON TO GO
Ice Age life at the desert’s edge
Protected fossil-bearing landscapes reveal an Ice Age ecosystem very different from modern Las Vegas. The visit is primarily an outdoor desert experience rather than a developed fossil museum.

Before you go
Facilities are limited and fossil sites are protected. Use official access points and plan around heat; do not expect exposed skeletons at every stop.
Allow time for the approach, interpretation and breaks. Check the specific facilities and walking surfaces your guests need.
Current access, reservations, fees and operating arrangements should be checked with the official operator or managing agency. Photographs can show earlier conditions.
