What is there to see out on the Fossil Beds?
Currently there are two overlooks open. Both are scenic overlooks. The Snake River overlook gives you a wonderful view of the Snake River, the town of Hagerman, and portions of the Monument’s bluffs. The Oregon Trail overlook is three miles further up the road. At this overlook you can hike the Emigrant Trail or walk along a portion of the Oregon Trail.
