We also found the BLM trilobite quarry on this trip. I highly recommend camping up there then hitting the quarry first thing in the morning.
Delta utah to udig fossils driving time free#
No really, we only saw two cars go by the entire afternoon and evening from our free BLM camping spot just past U-Dig ( 39☂1’37.9″N 113☁7’11.6″W). The 20 miles of gravel road up there was significantly slower and dustier in the RV than in the van, but once we got there we had the whole place to ourselves.
The kids and I had so much fun finding trilobites last May that I decided to go back for a fun overnight trip with my husband in our 29′ motorhome. It looks like it would be a great place to start when heading out to find trilobites to learn about the area and the amazing fossils that have been found here. The Great Basin Museum in Delta is FREE and open Monday-Saturday. **Edited to Add – I wish I had known that this place existed before we headed out to U-Dig. The following are a few of them and the answers I found. When I was researching this trip I had quite a few questions. I would highly recommend them both, but if easy is what you are looking for then this is the rock trip for you.
You never know when you’re going to find the big one! This trip really was easy, from the directions to the roads, it was a million times easier than our geode expedition last weekend.
The more rocks you crack open the more addicting it gets. – Today I road tripped 6 hours round trip with two 11 year olds and a 4 year old to the U-Dig Fossils Trilobite Quarry and loved it.
