Guided Hike to Kremmling Ammonite Fossil Site
Sep 20, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 4:00 pm
$20.00
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
- SHS is excited to bring back this popular hike to our members:
- The BLM Kremmling Field Office will lead us on an interpretive hike of the 160-acre Research Natural Area containing fossils of over 100 species of marine creatures, including giant ammonites, from the late Cretaceous Period (72 million years ago) when Colorado was covered by a vast, shallow ocean.
- Plan to be gone most of the day
- Bring lunch and plenty of water — there will be virtually no shade.
- Be prepared for changing weather. Cool, wet weather can blow in on a moment’s notice
- HIGH-CLEARANCE Vehicles Highly Recommended, with at least front-wheel-drive; 30-minute drive to fossil site is over rocky terrain.
- If you do not have a high-clearance vehicle, please email us at "> and we will try to place you in another vehicle.
- EVENT MAY BE CANCELED WITH SHORT NOTICE DUE TO FORECASTS OF INCLEMENT WEATHER
- PLEASE CHECK BACK HERE FOR UPDATES AS THE EVENT DATE APPROACHES
MEETING PLACE AND TIME:
- Meet at the Dillon 1883 Schoolhouse Museum (403 LaBonte Street, Dillon) no later than 8:30am
- We will pool riders together in high-clearance vehicles and then caravan to the BLM Kremmling Field Office, arriving by 9:30am
- We will plan to be back in Dillon by 4:00pm but this is subject to change; plan accordingly
- PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A NO-PET EVENT
