Landowners may require participants to sign an additional release form upon arrival. Some sites we collect from are leased by commercial collectors and it is through their generosity that we are allowed to collect there. Commercial collectors often will want to keep the better fossils. Western Paleo Safaris trips operate with a staff of one or two. Visits to some sites may also involve a local expert.
Most trips run five days and six nights.
The first and last nights are spent at a hotel, other nights are spent camping. Each trip begins on the first evening, when we meet for introductions, orientation and dinner. The next morning we drive to the first fossil site, where the fun begins. Participants who drive to the meeting places may leave their cars there for the duration of the trip. . We have had many requests for doing children's digs, so we have lowered the minimum age for several trips this year.
