What families say

This small family-run stop is built around an easy, roughly half-mile nature trail (with a shorter option for anyone with mobility issues) that loops past numerous petrified wood specimens, plus a little museum and rock shop. Before hiking, everyone watches a short video (18-20 minutes) on how the wood formed; be aware it includes a biblical creation explanation alongside the science, which some reviewers appreciated as interesting and others found off-putting or dated. Plan for about 1-1.5 hours total, $10/adult, and note the steep access road—kids curious about rocks and fossils tend to love it, though one reviewer felt the museum and price weren't worth it.
