An easy 0.4 mi paved trail behind the Rainbow Forest Museum that passes by numerous petrified logs, including the park's largest, nicknamed Old Faithful.
An easy 0.6 mi loop trail that is 0.5 mi from the Rainbow Forest Museum. This trail passes through the park's largest concentration of petrified wood.
Accessible via a 0.5 mi spur (one-way) off of the Long Logs Trail, this trail leads to a rebuilt pueblo that was constructed out of petrified wood.
A roadside turnout overlooks hundreds of logs that have been deposited amongst badlands through the erosion of the surrounding rocky bluffs.
This bridge was created as softer rocks eroded around a large petrified log, leaving a lengthy bridge between bluffs. The early park service built several stone supports to keep the bridge from collapsing, greatly diminishing the beauty of this natural wonder.
A 1 mi loop trail leads into the Blue Mesa area, one of the most colorful landscapes of the park. Minerals in the soil have stained the surrounding bluffs with exquisite colors, while petrified logs have been deposited throughout the area as the bluffs have eroded.
