Have you ever been here? It is an amazing place. They have helpful rangers and fun trails. Some of the hikes are a little longer, but they have some short ones near the visitor center. Younger people can even become Junior Rangers by completing several tasks outlines in their booklet. They have awesome examples of fossilized insects found on the property in the visitors center.
Just outside the visitor center you can see some of the few remaining petrified trees. Can you tell how huge these trees must have been? Wow! Amazing!
In the past they said you could not walk through the field below the visitors center for all the petrified trees. Sadly, few remain today for all of us to wonder over.
If you take one of the trails on the property, you will come to the crest of a hill and have this view.
Along the petrified trail. (No, that pine tree is not growing out of the petrified stump - it just looks like it.
