Description

Today we want to talk about something incredible that you can see in the parks -- fossils!
When we were full-time RVers through the national parks, we noticed some fun themes. In this episode of Exploring the National Parks, we are diving into the theme of dinosaurs and all of the cool fossils you can see in the parks.
