Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park
An ancient volcanic eruption left a rich cache of fossils at this site near Royal (140 miles southeast of Valentine). Today, Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park offers a top-notch educational attraction. Inside the massive new Hubbard Rhino Barn, visitors see what paleontologists are uncovering (including barrel-bodied rhinos, five species of horses and three species of camels). Activities include a fossil dig table for kids and trails with overlooks (402/893-2000; ashfall.unl.edu).
