The Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site is an active Ice Age paleontological dig in the Horse Heaven Hills just south of Kennewick, where volunteers with the nonprofit MCBONES Research Center are excavating the roughly 17,500-year-old remains of a Columbian mammoth buried in flood-laid Touchet beds. Guided public tours (mid-April into October, about $10 per person) split time between the on-site ‘Dig House’ – with a presentation, lab activities, and key specimens – and the open-air dig itself, where visitors watch the excavation and try their hand at wet-screening soil. A genuinely hands-on window into the region’s Ice Age flood history; reservations fill fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4283,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"business-category":[86],"city":[29],"class_list":["post-3726","business","type-business","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","business-category-arts-culture","city-kennewick"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCoyote Canyon Mammoth Site - EatPlayToday<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site.
