For the Protection
On this day I learned that some National Monuments exist primarily to protect a delicate environment. Fossil beds are extremely delicate and need to be protected from cumbersome humans. That being said there was very little for me to do at this site with the temperatures reaching over 90F.
So all I did was wander the visitor center, snapped a couple of panoramas and headed on my way.
