A little gem, few people but definitely worth a stop

Petrified wood is a type of fossilized wood created when tree remains undergo a mineralization process, often involving replacement by stone. While individual pieces of petrified wood are common, this area features several large trunks shimmering in various colors. The hike through this area is stunning, offering many views of colorful, fossilized tree stumps, a rewarding experience.

Escalante Petrified Forest State Park preserves a stunning collection of fossilized trees, some over 135 million years old, scattered across a high desert mesa. Here, you'll see colorful logs turned to stone and panoramic views of Wide Hollow Reservoir. There are places to camp, canoe, hike, or ride through this beautiful area, making it a great place to spend a weekend just outside of Escalante.

You can swim here!

Blind Lake, the largest and deepest lake on Boulder Mountain, was created by the Forest Service in the early 1900s. It sits beneath the summit plateau's cliffs, and its deep turquoise waters are home to large fish, bringing out fishermen as well as hikers. Nearby lakes, including Pear Lake, Beaver Dam Reservoir, and Fish Creek Lake, are close enough for easy visits.

Lovely walk with a wonderful trail map explaining the various vistas

Warning! In our opinion, this trail is not suitable for beginners and can only be completed with good footwear. The way there is steeply downhill on bare rock. The trail is very poorly marked! The way back is accordingly difficult and demanding uphill. However, the effort is worth it because the waterfall is very beautiful.
