October 30, 2020July 28, 2020July 26, 2020Lots of free options don’t bother with this at $12.00 per person it is just not worth it.
March 12, 2020a nice educational hike with the guide. sorry people complain about the cost but it's privately owned and operated. so nice it's available to the public.
February 10, 2020Nice trail, brief. In and out in like an hour. I enjoy history. Not sure if it’s worth $12 though.
September 5, 2019I wouldn't go necessarily for the hike, but seeing all the Petrified trees was amazing. It can be longer than .4 depending on how you do it, but definitely bring water and a sun hat if you go in the summer because there's basically no shade.
July 14, 2019A decent outing. Kids and elder friendly. Great for parents who want to embark on a family activity. Also nice for a follow up walk after a moderate to strenuous hike.
August 22, 2018I really like this hike as it’s not very long and a lot to see. However $12 is a bit steep
November 19, 2017Good short hike. More like an educational walk great to do with kids. It does have some good uphills and its cool to see some petrified trees and redwoods. Also has a gift shop.
June 1, 2017Short and disappointing. Plus there are "no running" signs. Not worth the price of admission.
March 19, 2017Easy walk with fascinating trees and a view of the volcano that created the petrified forest. Nice picnic area.
November 6, 2016the kids really enjoyed it the gift shop was pricey . lots of things for the kids to learn there.
April 2, 2016A short hike easy enough for most anyone winds through various petrified trees and ancient ash flows.Explores some fascinating history and geologic events significant to the area.The Hike could stand to be a little longer and/ or the area more expansive considering what you have to pay to get in though.
August 13, 2015It's a unique walk/hike and very easy to do.
August 3, 2015lovely walk.
January 25, 2013Great historic site to bring youth and youth groups to teach about the geology of the earth, plants and rocks. GREAT rock shop, great family day trip.
