You can pay $6 for a guided tour or just walk up it yourself. It's been closed to any car besides the tour busses for years so no driving up to see everything.
Took the guided tour in the vanasaurus with Dan or "Danasaurus" - which was cool and affordable . Tip the guy. Pay for the exhibit hall. Support conservation and preservation of a very cool landmark .
The "rock doc." who gave us the bus tour was fantastic. So informative. She was the reason for our great experience.
Nice easy paced path to look a a bunch of fossils and footprints. Cool to see red rocks as well .
Take the guided bus tour for the inside scoop on the area's fossils and their discoveries. Totally worth the five bucks a head!
Don't leave your car in the lot too late because they lock it at 5PM or 6PM until 9AM the next day. There is some parking on the road outside the lot that is a better idea.
