The National Park Service has announced the commencement of construction on the first permanent, accessible trails at Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument. This development marks a significant milestone in enhancing the accessibility and visitor experience at the park.
Expected to be open to the public by 2027, these trails will provide visitors with a unique opportunity to explore the rich prehistoric heritage of the park. Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, renowned for its wealth of significant paleontological resources, is a key site for scientific research and education.
This project underscores the National Park Service’s commitment to making national parks more accessible and inclusive. The new trails will not only enable visitors of all abilities to enjoy the park’s natural and historical treasures but also foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the park’s scientific importance.
