During the summer, there are fossil preparation demonstrations, 20 minute interpretive programs, and weekend fossil quarry visits

Today the surface of Fossil Butte National Monument is covered by a cold high desert. The lower elevations are covered with Sagebrush and limber pine and aspen grow on the upper slopes.  Pronghorn, Mule deer and a variety of birds are commonly seen.  Sometimes you can catch a glimpse moose, elk, and beaver.
