The Petrified Forest

The Petrified Forest is pet friendly. The forest was created after Mount. St. Helena (seen from the Silverado Trail) erupted 3.4 million years ago and engulfed a redwood forest in volcanic ash, preventing decay and preserving the trees. It wasn’t until 1870 that the forest was discovered underneath a pasture and became a point of interest for paleontologists. These days, visitors and their dogs can take to the trails of the forest and enjoy the natural phenomenon together. Visit Website

    A hike and history

    okay so not much of a hike but a nice walk, and for one dog being handicapped it was great. We loved the history and geology as humans and the dogs loved the shaded paths and smells. they offer water bowls for the pups.

    Great Roadside Attraction

    Dogs are allowed at and on the Petrified Forest trail for no additional fee! We brought our two labradoodles and had a great time.
