At Dinosaur Journey, you don’t just look at fossils—you discover them.
Our Dinosaur Digs take you into the fossil-rich landscapes of Western Colorado where participants work alongside professional paleontologists excavating dinosaur bones, prospecting for new fossil sites, and preparing specimens in our laboratory.
Whether you’re a beginner or a lifelong dinosaur enthusiast, we offer half-day digs, full-day quarry excavations, and multi-day paleo expeditions.
