Hike Long Logs Trail, Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona

The Long Logs Trail in Petrified Forest National Park is a 1.6 mile loop that takes hiking by one of the largest concentrations of petrified wood in the park. The brilliant colors of the logs come from impurities in the quartz, such as iron, carbon, and manganese. The first half-mile of this trail is paved and suitable for mobility equipment and strollers. Strollers may be negotiated on the loop, but it is not recommended for most wheelchairs and other mobility equipment due to its narrow width and very rough surface. Stairs up to the shade shelter can be avoided by using the Agate House trail to access the hilltop. Please leave petrified wood for others to enjoy. Report anyone removing petrified wood, or any other materials, from the park. The trail starts at the Rainbow Forest Museum Parking Lot.
