We enjoyed a field trip in the Magic Valley Area today (Twin Falls). We went to the Hagerman Fossil Beds Visitor Center and saw the state fossil, "The Hagerman Horse." This was a fun little field trip, but I wouldn't recommend it until spring time at least. Included at the Visitor's Center is all the information that you need to tour the area and see fossil beds, views of the Snake River and the Oregon Trail. The Visitor's Center is free.
While you are in Hagerman stop at the Malad Gorge and enjoy what I consider one of the "7 Wonders of Idaho." They have a lovely park nearby perfect for a picnic. There is a $4 car fee.
This is a great thing to do if you have a 4th grader studying Idaho History. Happy Field Triping!

This was a great visitors center! We went last year. There was something there for all ages.
Aw, we missed this field trip due too many other things going on. I'm definitely putting it down as trip to take.
We used to live right up the road from Malad Gorge, but we've never been to the Fossil Beds. Now there's snow on the ground again...Hurry up, Spring!
