Fossil Bone Exhibit Trail

Not a trail. Exhibit don't go out of your way to see. If passing by stop and get your card punched

Not really a trail, there are stairs that lead up to an overlook. However it has an exhibit that was very educational on the prehistoric life that was in the big bend area. It was interesting and I would recommend if you like learning about the history of a location.

Very short and easy with nice view of Chisos mountains and Chihuahuan desert. You can see layers of sedimentary rock along the trail which is really neat. The exhibit is informative and interesting.

Very short interpretive hike, good for families to get out and stretch after a long drive.

An awesome exhibit that is worth the drive. Take the time to read the plagues It's pretty cool to know these fossils were found in Texas.

A short trail with a decent view of the Chihuahuan Desert and some interpretive signs about the fossil discoveries that occurred along the way. I won’t make a separate trip to walk the trail, but the Fossil Discovery Exhibit at the start is a wonderful place to learn about the Park’s prehistory. If you go to the exhibit, you can hike the trail while you are there for a bit more perspective.

dinosaur exhibit was impressive. we were here around sunset. we walked up the little trail, learned that the chisos mountains used to be one large volcano, then watched the sun set behind them.

There's some interesting fun facts, but otherwise a waste of time considering you're in Big Bend... Seriously, find a legit trail, there are dozens a short drive away...

great new addition. amazing geological history adding layers of fun and new understanding to revisited sights.

The trail is very short, but your kids will like it. The fossil display is great! Very well done.

Really well designed building at the fossil exhibit.

Exhibit is amazing! Small trail off to the side gives a nice view, but is the same as from the parking lot except taller.

Great new exhibit. Amazing that this part of the country was a seashore with dinosaurs roaming and flying above.

Nice photo spot, otherwise boring.

Beautiful!

Easy. Pretty panorama of the dessert floor.

The fossil bone exhibit is just off the Persimmon Gap Entrance Road north of the Panther Junction Visitors Center. The display shows several fossil bones that were found here. This parking area is also the trailhead for an alternate trail to the Banta Shutin, by following Tornillo Creek downstream.
