The Trees of Stone Interpretive Trailhead
Photograph the fossilized Ginkgo trunks and layered badland formations—striking textures, colors and ancient tree cross-sections make compelling foregrounds. Best at golden hour for warm light and long shadows; late afternoon highlights the ridges. Short, well-marked interpretive trails from on-site parking; trail is exposed desert—bring water, sun protection and sturdy shoes. Weekdays and shoulder seasons are quieter. No special permits for casual photography; check park hours.
