We worked our way east across the rest of Oregon and Idaho to southwest Wyoming, near Kemmerer, to Fossil Butte National Monument. We were very happy that the fossil displays were open at the visitor center.
There are hundreds of amazing animal and plant fossils on display. There is a short film showing how they cut out and prepare a fossil for analysis and display. There is also a small window to watch someone carefully working on a fossil. A fluke cold blast for early September kept us from doing any hiking but the hikes didn't seem overly interesting to us anyway.
Follow the link where there are lots of pictures and videos.
