Skavo Experience Package

Skávo is a cliff-side resort built around a legendary fossil which celebrates the discovery and fosters new archaeological adventures.

The legendary Skávosauraus has always been just that, a legend. That is until whispers arose of an equally legendary archaeological discovery. The rumors were true, deep in the Carnegie Quarry of Jensen, Utah, a local archaeologist alone uncovered the full form fossilization of the Skávosaurus within the rock walls of the quarry. This discovery boomed into a phenomenal roar as guests came from far and wide to see the great Skávosaurus.

In Greek, “Skávo”, translates to “Discovery”. Here in the quarry, Skávo fosters new discoveries as a fossil-rich resort and adventure site. As once just a shack and a dig-site, this fossil-rich landscape now needed to accommodate for the now tourist-demanding requests, like lodging.  The resort is built around the cliff-side walls of the quarry. One wall is pure rock, showing off the grandeur of the fossil and the opposite wall is a floor-to-ceiling window, showing off the beautiful canyon-scape. The interior, inspired by modern industrial architecture, also serves as a classically lit showroom and museum to exhibit real fossils and discoveries of Carnegie Quarry. The museum lighting against the artifacts provides a classical showcase of the fossils and cavernous walls.
