Driving Directions to our Wyoming Quarry
Use the following driving directions and not Google Maps or your GPS! They will take you on an unimproved road and not the main road.
From I-80
- From I-80, Exit 18 at Hwy 189 to Kemmerer, proceed north about 36 miles, then through Diamondville to Kemmerer.
- Just past the center of town you will come to a Ridley's grocery store on the right.
- Past that you come to a junction with Highway 30. At that junction turn right and remain on Hwy 189.
- You will pass over Hamm's Fork River. Just beyond the base of the hill you will find a Sinclair station on the right.
- Not far beyond that is the junction with Hwy 233. You will see a sign there on the right indicating a left turn to Lake Viva Naughton. Take a left there.
- Pass through Frontier and follow Hwy 233 for approximately 3 miles after the speed limit increases to 55 mph. At about that point you will see a large ranch on your right. You will take a left on Dempsey Road, a dirt road indicated by a county sign saying Dempsey Road at the point where the road narrows and the river is on one side and a hill on the other. The river is near the road on the right at this point. Do not cross the bridge. Do not continue on Hwy 233.
- Follow the dirt road for approx. 8 miles. You will cross four cattle guards and be on a plateau. From the last cattle guard, proceed about three miles. On the left you will see a well-worn dirt road with a large pale boulder and a large white sign saying American Fossil. Turn left here. Follow the main track. Another sign will guide you as the road starts to bend. The road becomes rutted for about the next half mile. You will then see two signs.
- Take the left fork at the American Fossil sign and the quarry will be in view. Follow the last sign to the left and take the hill down to the American Fossil Quarry.
