Yes, U-dig will be open April 1 & 2. Just drive directly to the quarry during our open times and a u-dig operator will be there to assist you.
I'd first like to thank all remarks contributors. ALL remarks are helpful when making choices for trips. I'm ready to visit! Please tell me when you think is the best time to visit? I don't live terribly far away and probably will plan a vacation through this area to camp and fossil hunt. I have all the tools/supplies for such an adventure. Thank you for all your replies.

You can collect in many different locations at the quarry. Some collecting areas are easy to access while other collecting areas have more aggressive terrain. Basically, there are opportunities to find the trilobites in numerous locations at the quarry and you can choose the difficulty of the terrain you want to venture into. The U-Dig operators working at the quarry are there to assist you. They have helped people in wheelchairs, people who cannot walk on unlevel ground, and people on on crutches collect in the past. Also, the parking lot is approximately 300 yards from the quarry so there is not too much of walk. If needed, you can even park closer to the quarry. Please let us know if you have additional questions. U-Dig Fossils Management
