Museum exposing fossils of prehistoric animals including those of a tyrannosaurus, one of the paths leads to fossilized wood

Superb fossils of prehistoric animals are displayed here, including those of a tyrannosaur found in the park in 1984. The museum's display cases also feature a few letters from repentant young citizens who have turned over stones stolen during a visit to the site. outside the building, a first trail, Giant Logs - a 1 km loop - allows the discovery of fossilized wood. A second, longer trail - Long Logs - leads to other specimens, then to Agate House, the remains, rebuilt in 1930, of a dwelling occupied between 900 and 1300.

Que l'on rentre dans le parc par le sud ou qu'on en sorte par le sud, la visite est très intéressante, surtout pour les enfants. De nombreux fossiles y sont exposés et il y a beaucoup d'explications (en anglais). A l'extérieur et tout autour on aperçoit des bois fossilisés, qu'on reverra d'ailleurs le long de la scenic road qui traverse le parc.

Un petit musée très bien conçu et très pédagogique (comme toujours dans les Visitors Centers) avec de très beaux fossiles d'animaux préhistoriques. Mais le clou de la visite reste le sentier parsemé de troncs d'arbres pétrifiés datant de plusieurs centaines de millions d'années. Il faut visiter par un jour ensoleillé pour apprécier toutes les couleurs de ces fossiles. Le parc est très étendu et d'autres sites sont tout à fait dignes d'intérêt (sites paysagers surtout). Enfin, des traces de la route 66 historiques sont visibles au nord du parc.
