We had a local adventurous weekend. My daughter loves to treasure hunt for anything. She finds broken glass pieces where nobody would expect glass to be. Now I know, broken glass is everywhere
. So, I made a fossil map, similar to an old pirate map. We started off the Saturday adventure with map presentation and loading up the Land Cruiser.
First we looked around Lake Mary, no luck there. Next we were off to some nice trails south of Marshall Lake. We discovered the correct limestone looking for fossils, and found a jaw bone from an elk!
The. We moved on to the trails north of Marshall Lake on the quest for fossils. This is a nice scenic trail with a different view of the peaks, actually one of my favorite.
Next, we continued to the end of one of these roads. There are a few trails that turn north off here and stop because Walnut Canyon is there. After parking, we began our hike to the southern rim of the canyon. We immediately found part of an elk or deer horn with some fur attached.
The canyon is beautiful and the search for fossils continued there. Quite the adventure for the little girl, the map really helped though of course. Sunday afternoon we continued near the Campbell Mesa trails, and found some nice fossils. Chapter 2 will have to wait until next weekend.
