À propos de cet audio

Did you know you can walk through an actual Ice Age dig site in Texas?


In this episode, we explore Waco Mammoth National Monument, one of the most fascinating paleontological sites in the country — right in the heart of Central Texas. Discovered in 1978 and designated a national monument in 2015, this site preserves the only known nursery herd of Columbian mammoths in the United States.


We’ll cover:

  • How 24 Columbian mammoths were discovered along the Bosque River
  • Why this is one of the most unique Ice Age fossil sites in North America
  • What makes seeing the fossils in place so powerful
  • The natural landscape that buried — and preserved — these giants
  • Trails you can hike while visiting the monument


Whether you're into national parks, Texas history, paleontology, hiking, or family travel destinations, this is a must-visit stop in Waco.
