rainbow forest印象

The petrified wood was very cool to see. It was all very colorful. This while national park was great and a lot bigger and better than I imagined it to be.

Came through the area in 2004 and wanted to stop again. This visit we bought a tour audio cd to listen to while going through park. It is available at both ends in park offoce. It was great and helped us to better understand what we where seeing. It made a major difference this time. Was less then 10 dollars which was well worth ever penny.

These petrified trees have all the colours of the rainbow captured. It is great to do the easy walk and just look at the beauty captured from so long ago.

This offers, aside from the Crystal Forest, the most expansive remnants of the petrified trees. The walks are nicely laid out offering a plethora of photo ops. The visitors center is extremely nice offering activities for the kids and families, restrooms, a gift shop, and a snack bar.

I completely agree with what most reviewers have to say: it's amazing walking through this 'forest', full of pretty colors. It's fascinating that the wood has undergone this slow process of fossilization and is probably millions of years old! The one thing that saddened me was the plethora of shops right outside the national park selling petrified wood by the pound. I wish that more could be done to preserve this treasure so it'll be there for future generations to enjoy. I'd originally intended to buy a piece of polished wood from the park store but this just changed my mind..True to the NP motto, I 'took' only pictures.

Just rode thru the Petrified Forest-truly amazing. This small museum located near the exit is a must see. The dinosaur collection is truly amazing and the history informative. Great for kids and adults!!

The geology of the area was interesting. The downed and petrified logs were unique. I'll swear, though, there is more petrified wood and logs in gift shops in Holbrook than in the national park. I understand that it didn't used to be illegal to take petrified logs from the park until a few decades ago; so much was taken and is now for sale just outside the park. Interesting is my word to describe this park.

We began our tour of the Petrified Forest at the Rainbow Forest Museum at the south end of the park. The trail with information stops (with pamphlet) was very interesting. We especially enjoyed the wonderful colors of the petrified wood. The displays in the museum were clear and very informative. Due to a time limit, we visited about half of the lookouts. All were very worthwhile. We also stopped at Chinde Point for a picnic lunch. Good shade at the picnic tables.

In June 2014 the loop trail is under construction that looks to last a while, making this a 1.6 mile out/back trail, but it is the best way to see a bunch of petrified logs. There is no shade on the trail so it gets hot, especially when retracing steps, but seeing this is the reason you are here.

It is really out of the way, no matter where you are, but it was worth the stop for us. It was only $10 per vehicle. We could have spent all day there, but only had a little time. We didn't venture into the park too far, but saw and learned many things just around the Rainbow Forest Museum. We got some great photos, got to touch petrified wood & enjoy the beautiful scenery. It was cool to learn about all of the fossils found there. It was a long drive out of our way, but worth it for us.
