Apparently the ranch hands would often shoot glass bottles off the barn fence. In 1997, the park added a tour of the Diana Mine to its attractions. Tours are limited to eight people at a time and are conducted only on summer weekends by reservation. The Nevada Division of State Parks maintains 14 campsites in the woods between the old town and the fossil site. Running water, toilets, barbecues and tables are provided, as well as an RV sewage dump.
Crowds are a rarity.
The park is 22 miles east of Gabbs in central Nevada. Roads are very good, but services are sparse, and visitors are advised to stock up on gas and food prior to leaving Gabbs. Austin is 58 miles on dirt and Fallon is 100 miles on pavement. Any of these communities serve as a good base camp for exploring the area. The park is always open.
