City Map with Features
One of the largest concentrations of Columbia mammoth bones found to date, the 26,000-year-old site is believed to have been a sinkhole fed by springs. Mammoths, giant short-faced bears and other animals entered the pond, became trapped by the slippery, steep banks and there died of starvation. The site features walkways that allow close-up viewing of fossils, as well as a museum which offers hands-on exhibits, educational programs, and guided tours that explain the site's history and discovery. Visitors can view current excavations at the site by archaeologists during special Excavation dates; contact the site for more information. Open year-round.
