"We like to stop at this little spot when ever we go by especially on the motorcycle....it is amazing to see the Crystal clear spings flowing out of the old cisterns only takes a few minutes but has nice places to sit and relax off the road"
"We happened upon the mammoth site purely by chance on our drive from Laramie to Mt Rushmore - and it turned out to be a holiday highlight. The previous year we had enjoyed a dinosaur dig at Choteau, in Montana - but that paled in comparison to this.
So many prehistoric bones in one place and volunt..."eers digging away - under cover - before our very eyes - simply fascinating!
The tour guide was extremely informative as were the displays as we wandered over the dig via a wooden walkway. We have our fair share of dinosaur remains in Australia but to have so many in one place was mind-blowing.
Do yourself a favour: if you're in the area, visit this site - it's a must-see.

"Mammoths are so cool! Outstanding tour guide. Excellent way to view archeological work as it happens. Loved this opportunity to be able to support a nonprofit discover the past and preserve the work for the future. "
