Covering over 240,000 acres, the park is renowned for its dramatic geological formations, which have been sculpted by millions of years of erosion. Visitors can explore scenic drives, numerous hiking trails, and rich fossil beds that offer a glimpse into the prehistoric past. In addition to its geological wonders, the park is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including bison, bighorn sheep, and prairie dogs.
