If you’ve been wondering what to do with your weekend look no further. The Bureau of Land Management is hosting guided field tours April 1st and 2nd as part of the Green River Rock and Mineral Festival. While some hiking over rough terrain is required, the trips are suitable for kids of all ages. BLM Regional Paleontologist Greg McDonald is leading an exploration of Fossil Point, a colorful Jurassic fossil bed south of the Green River, while Paleontologist ReBecca Foster will lead a group on the Copper Ridge Dinosaur Tracksite. There will also be a tour of the Sego Canyon Petroglyphs with rock art expert Steve Acerson. All are invited to join the fun but must remember that fossils, tracks and archaeological sites are protected by federal law. To learn more about the festival, visit
