During the dig season you can walk right up to the dig sights and even talk with the paleontologist if you like. This paleontologist is sitting on a femur bone they are trying to extract this year (2013). Some of the other visitors there were actually helping with the excavations; they told us there was a program that allowed them to do that for a fee. They were there with the son who loves dinosaurs and wanted to dig up fossils. There maybe more information about that on the website.
Posing near the dig sight at the trail through time. We didn't take any pictures on the actual trail during our walk. It was very interesting because they have signs on the trail the tell you about different dinosaur bones that are still in the rocks around the trail. We were there in August (2013) and it was WAY to hot. We only walked an 1/8 of this trail before we turned back, which was a bummer because it was very interesting. Wish we could have spent more time there.
