💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •When planning your visit to U-Dig Fossils, the best times to go are during spring and early fall, when the weather is mild and the fossils are more accessible. Dress in comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy hiking boots, as you'll be digging in the dirt; don’t forget a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen. Bring essential tools such as a small shovel, a hand trowel, and a bucket to collect your finds, along with plenty of water and snacks for energy. For safety, keep an eye on your surroundings and watch for loose rocks while digging. Capture stunning photos against the unique backdrop of the fossil beds, but remember to respect the site by not disturbing or removing anything other than your own finds. Lastly, be courteous to fellow diggers and staff, sharing finds and tips to enhance everyone’s experience.
