The Petrified Forest Trail climbs steeply from the parking lot, with breathtaking views of Wide Hollow Reservoir before looping through a piñon-juniper woodland. Along the ridge, you'll see plenty of chunks of petrified wood—fossilized trees transformed by minerals over millions of years. The trail connects to Sleeping Rainbows Trail— a steeper loop with the park's densest concentration of beautiful and colorful petrified logs.
