Want to dig for dinosaurs? Well… there a place near Glenrock, Wyoming that might be perfect for a vacation next year! Cowboy State Daily has a nice article about it.

A plethora of paleontological discoveries continues to shed light on the world of Converse County 67 million years ago.

Most of that light is coming from everyday people, working day and night, fulfilling their lifelong dreams to dig for dinosaurs.

The Triceratops Gulch Project has been collecting every scrap of fossil from the hills north of Glenrock for decades.

Every gar scale, crocodile scute and stomach acid-etched dinosaur tooth is a piece from a dynamic ecosystem being slowly and meticulously reconstructed to reveal life in Late Cretaceous Glenrock.

People from across the country and all walks of life eagerly flock to Glenrock to simmer in the summer sun while delicately digging into the soft layers of mudstone and sandstone.

And, once the sun goes down, they put on headlamps and keep digging.

“We try to make the most of everyone’s time here,” said Matt Mossbrucker, the director of the Morrison Museum of Natural History in Colorado. “One of the ways we extend our time is by using lanterns and headlamps to give people the chance to collect at night.”
