Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park

We stopped in Vantage Washington to walk the Ridge Trail and a long section of the Trees of Stone Interpretive Trail to make a 2 mile loop with 250 ft of gain. We went counterclock wise.

The trail goes up to a ridge, we had a view of the Columbia River in the distane.

The exhibits of petrified wood are located in concrete enclosures with wire on top along the Trees of Stone Interpretive Trail.
