Kemmerer, Wyoming — The National Park Service hours page for Fossil Butte National Monument shows the park open sunrise to sunset year round, with the visitor center open year round on seasonal hours. Winter hours run from November 1 through April 30, Monday through Saturday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

In winter the visitor center is closed on Sundays and on Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents Day.

The page says visitors can see prepared fossils on display at the visitor center. Fossils are trapped within horizontal layers of rock and must be split and prepared before viewing, and are not visible on trails.

On seasonal closures, the entrance road gate closes only during severe winter storms, and the scenic drive with access to the picnic area and Nature Trail is closed from November until late May, weather dependent.
