1. From the intersection of St. George Blvd and Utah Hwy 18, drive NW for 25.7 miles to the Pine Valley Recreation Area turnoff. (This is the town of Central.) At the intersection, turn left onto a gravel road and go west for just under one mile. Just before you reach a dead end at the Central power substation, you will see a dirt road to your right. Take this road for 0.3 mile. Park anywhere and start hunting along both sides of the road. There is quite a bit of agate and jasper. (Spring-Fall)
2. Begin in Virgin (on Hwy 9 between Hurricane and Zion). Take Kolob Road north for 18.5 miles to a huge road cut on the right. There is a wide parking area at the base of the cut. You will find Pelecypod fossils in gray limestone. For fun, you could continue on the road to Kolob Reservoir. (Late spring-early fall)
