Fossil finds
The Snowmass Ice Age Discovery Center, a short drive from Glenwood Springs, is where you’ll learn about the recent and amazing fossil discoveries near Snowmass Village.
National Geographic and NOVA have featured programs about a fossil find that took place in October 2010, when a Glenwood Springs Contractor (Gould Construction) uncovered the bones of a large animal which turned out to be part of a preserved Ice Age fossil ecosystem. In the next few months, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science uncovered parts of more than 5,000 bones from forty-one different ice-age animals, including mammoths, mastodons, a Jefferson ground sloth, gigantic Ice Age bison and more.
The center includes a half-size wooden mammoth, videos and interactive programming. The Snowmass Ice Age Discovery Center on the Snowmass Village Mall is built for kids with plenty of things for adults to enjoy too. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through April 20. Admission is free.
