Great interpretive trail with large petrified logs(sadly in cages due to theft) to observe. Easy to stop by if you are traveling down I90 through Vantage its just off the freeway. Free to visit.

wow, it is super windy here… must be due to the wind tunnel caused by the valleys. okay…so there is a hike here… and it’s about 2 miles round trip. but the thing is the hike is really barren(no shade/trees) and not well labelled. you can meander off course easily especially with the winds disorienting you. the petrified trees are caged up and you can peer at them through the heavy wires… feels like you’re gazing into a tree coffin. O. o there is a little visitors center which is cool — you see displays of different petrified wood and the history of the forest.(free admission, suggested $ 1 donations). mm… the drive here from seattle is 2.5hrs and is really really picturesque but coming to this hike was a bit anti-climatic.

The petrified trees(stumps) are in cages, you cant even touch them. What the hell… We did see a lizrard that was about an inch long so that was exciting. Picnic area was being watered by a sprinkler system so you couldn’t even sit down.

This is a really cool place to go to find out about the geological history of washington state(which is very unique.) Plus, you get to see real live(ok petrified) ginkgo trees(ok stumps.) It is way fascinating. They have an interpretive center with a really cool video that does a great job of explaining all sorts of geological stuff about washington. And, there is a trail to walk on where you can see the remains of ancient ancient ginkgo trees. I have no idea why my parents never took us here but I was thrilled when I went to it a few years back! While you are in vantage, stop by the grocery market. They have all sorts of fascinating candy there!
