Vandring

From the lake, the path ascends a few meters, and within a short hike, visitors can spot the first petrified trees. Petrified Forest Trail is well-marked and features a mesa where fossilized wood, including large logs, can be seen. The visitor center shows fossils, petrified wood, and dinosaur bones over 150 million years old. The park also offers an optional, steeper trail, Sleeping Rainbows, for those seeking more physical channeling.

Vandring

In the semi-desert, there are many plants despite the dryness. Above all, the many cacti (Opuntia) in their colors are an eye-width. But also the asters and evening primrose should not be left. All plants here are perfectly adapted to these climatic conditions.

Petrified Forest Trail and Sleeping Rainbow Trail loop — Escalante Petrified Forest State Park

3,55km

01:05

120m

Embark on an easy hike along the Petrified Forest and Sleeping Rainbows Trail, a 2.2-mile (3.5 km) loop that takes about 1 hour and 4 minutes to complete. You will gain 389 feet (119 metres) in elevation as you wander through a unique "pygmy forest" of piñon pine and juniper trees. The route gradually climbs, offering expansive views of the distant Wide Hollow Reservoir and the striking pink cliffs of Bryce Canyon National Park.

This trail starts and ends at the trailhead located within Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, where parking is readily available. While the path is generally accessible, be prepared for some uneven surfaces and a few steep sections, especially as you explore the Sleeping Rainbows loop. Remember that you are welcome to touch the ancient petrified wood specimens, but collecting or removing them from the park is strictly prohibited.

The highlight of your journey will be the dramatic display of petrified wood, particularly concentrated along the Sleeping Rainbows section of the trail. Here, you will discover a dense collection of petrified logs, showcasing an incredible spectrum of colors including vibrant reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, and purples. This geological wonder provides a unique opportunity to connect with millions of years of natural history.
