Things to Do - Escalante Petrified Forest State Park

Petrified Forest Trail

This 1-mile loop is a moderate to strenuous hike, which climbs 200 feet to the top of the mesa behind the visitor center.

Trail of Sleeping Rainbows

This .75-mile extension off the 1-mile Petrified Forest Trail has the highest concentrations of petrified wood in the park. The trail is very strenuous. Use extreme caution.
