About this place
The Fish Creek Range is a tilted fault block of sedimentary rock. It is rock country. Bedding plane faults show across more than 28,000 acres in the middle of the study area.
Bald eagles, peregrine falcons and golden eagles all hunt here.
The ferruginous hawk, the long-billed curlew and the kit fox may be here too. All three are sensitive species.

Getting there
From Delta, drive southwest on US Highway 6/50 for about 51 miles, to the road heading south through Blind Valley. Follow that road southwest and then south for 12.5 miles, to a spur running southwest to the north side of Fossil Mountain. You can see the mountain clearly from the turnoff. The spur leads into a wash that marks the northern edge of it. Drive to the end of the spur, then look for fossils in the wash and on the mountainside.

Every distance on this page is the driving distance. A short distance can still take a long time. The road may be closed for the season, covered in snow, or washed out. Many of these roads are dirt. Plan your route before you leave home. Out here there is often no phone signal to look it up on the way.

Milford is big enough that you’d normally expect fuel and somewhere to buy food. Nobody from here has been to check, so don’t count on it if you’re running low.

Add road notes for this site
The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.
Thank you. A person will read it before it goes on the page.
