Travelers Notes

• Rain or Shine, Fossil Rim is the place to be. Come and explore nature at its finest any season of the year.

• Animal food is $7.95 per bag and we limit it to one per vehicle for animal health reasons.
• Halfway through the drive is a café, picnic area, gift store, children’s zoo and walking trail.
