The petrified forest doesn't offer much more than a short stroll through the woods mixed with a little bit of science and history. If you have nothing better to do, why not take a walk and get some exercise on a nice spring day. More

Interesting place, cool to see the wicked looking trees. Nice staff to boot. More

This was a great side trip when looking for something to do for a bit after the wineries or with children. It was nice to get outdoors and enjoy a bit of a gentle hike after the indoor tours around the valley. Overall it was interesting and had some interesting valley history associated with it. More

We drive past this attraction two or three times a year and this time my mother n law noticed it and asked if we'd ever stopped there. We had, but it was 15+ years ago and our memories were pleasant but vague. So we turned around and went back. If we'd had a wheelchair with us we would have gone... More

We went to the Petrified Forest. It was interesting to see the trees-turned-rock as was the other flora around them. It's not terribly exciting and the walk takes about 30 minutes. It's ok but not so dramatic. More

It's a quick, 30 minute or less, walk through the woods to see fallen trees, now stone. The trail is easy to walk, I did it in flip flops. In my opinion, it's... More

The story of the petrified forest is pretty interesting, but the trees were just....trees...and dead ones at that. The trail took about 30 minutes and we were done. Interesting but definitely not worth the 10 dollar admission fee per person!!! More

It's been years since I have been here, but my recollection is that in comparison to other places like this, this one didn't have a lot going for it. More

Hard to believe that when Mt. St. Helens erupted 7 miles Northeast, the blast from the volcano caused these trees to be blown down over 3 million years ago. The trail to see these giants is an easy hike of approximately 1/2 mile. The trail is partially accessible by wheelchair. I would rate trail from moderate to moderately difficult. This... More
