Paved parking is available on site and several spaces are available for large tour buses and recreation vehicles. The highways leading to Sells and south on Federal Route 19 are paved. There is a quarter-mile section of unpaved, but graded road between the turnoff from Federal Route 19 to the museum’s parking lot. Please drive with caution to avoid animals and reduce dust pollution.
