Step back in Time, over 3 million years, and follow the trail of majestic petrified redwood giants arrayed before you in a fascinating grove in beautiful California wine country. Come take a walk with family and friends and be a witness to redwood trees that once grew in abundance here and were turned to stone 3.4 million years ago by a local volcano.
Easy walk. Take your water bottle!
I've been in California forever and did not know of this interesting site! First, our son took us..... we got the best ever deli sandwiches at Molsberry's Market, just off Mark West, address 522...
Quick 1 hour walk
This place is open during shelter-in, although I am not sure if the hours are the same. It is pretty hot in June for the one hour walk, but there wasn’t a lot of visitors. There is also onsite...
Interesting... for the first 10 min
interesting to see the Petrified trees... took us less then an hour to walk around then entire trail... didnt stop at all the signage... once you see one they all look the same... cool to see once...
