    You can hike for a far or as short as you want and there is plenty of trees to see! Super interesting!

    Great hike - views were amazing! We did north loop only and had plenty of great views.

    We really enjoyed our hike. We only took the north end of the loop due to time, but we really enjoyed it. Beautiful scenery & it was a cooler day (low 60's) & very sunny, so perfect weather. It would be a very hot hike in summer b/c there is very little shade. Our hiking poles came in handy for ascending & descending some of the washes. The petrified trees were very unique & interesting.
