Saturday begins with breakfast before exploring the renowned Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm, home to an extraordinary Early Jurassic tracksite preserving dinosaur footprints from 200 million years ago. After a picnic lunch (included), enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of collections and the fossil prep lab, followed by free time and an evening geology talk with Dr. Jerry Harris. On Sunday, take part in a true field experience—excavating fossils at the Substation Quarry alongside local experts. After a picnic lunch (included) and more digging, unwind at the hotel before a group dinner (included). Monday features a full-day field excursion with Lead Paleontologist Andrew Milner, exploring regional geology, lesser-known dinosaur tracksites, and scenic sandstone landscapes. Dinner is on your own. On Tuesday, we will wrap up with a visit to the Red Hills Desert Garden, where dinosaur tracks are preserved among striking Navajo sandstone. Departure flights recommended after 1:00 PM. Trip size is limited to 8–13 participants, ensuring an intimate, hands-on experience.…
