Ice Age Fossils State Park, Paleontological discovery area in North Las Vegas, US.
The 315-acre Nevada state park contains fossil beds within the upper Las Vegas wash, showcasing remains of extinct mammals from the Pleistocene period.
The 1962 Big Dig expedition marked the first major scientific investigation of the site, leading to discoveries of Columbian mammoth and American lion fossils.
The Megafauna Trail features life-sized sculptures representing the prehistoric animals that inhabited this region during the last Ice Age period.
The park operates Wednesday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with entrance fees of $3 for adults while children under 12 enter free.
Three interconnected trails totaling over 3 miles guide visitors through ancient trenches where scientists uncovered prehistoric animal remains during past excavations.
