Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park — photo spot in 630 Ginkgo Ave, Vantage, WA 98950, USA
Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park
Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park preserves vividly colored, silica-replaced logs in a broad desert setting near the Columbia River. Photographers can frame banded petrified wood against badlands, sagebrush, and big sky—especially when low sun rakes texture and reveals veins. Visit in fall–spring for clearer air and fewer crowds; summers can be hot and windy. Free/low-cost parking at the main lots; parking is limited in peak times—arrive early. Daylight-only access; check Washington State Parks
