As spring makes its way into Bear Lake, early leaves and flowers welcome you as you ride or walk a lake or mountain trail. Temperatures are mild, even during the middle of the summer, so hiking is pleasant. The fall months of September and October are some of the prettiest and most scenic with the brightly colored leaves and the tranquility of the lake.
Visit Fossil Butte National Park
Some of the world's best preserved fossils are found in the flat-topped ridges of southwestern Wyoming's cold sagebrush desert. Fossilized fishes, insects, plants, reptiles, birds, and mammals are exceptional for their abundance, variety, and detail of preservation. Most remarkable is the story they tell of ancient life in a sub-tropical landscape.
Plan your trip to Fossil Basin where you can unearth your very own fossil fish!
'Dig-your-own' fossil quarries are located in the hills surrounding ancient Fossil Lake, just west of Kemmerer and Diamondville. This 52-million-year-old limestone graveyard preserves an entire paleoecosystem, including fish, turtles, crocodiles, insects, mammals, birds and over 200 leaves.
