Family Pass for four (4) people on Main Trail or Meadow Walk at the Petrified Forest in Calistoga.

Transport yourself back more than three million years in time and follow the trail of majestic petrified redwood giants displayed before you in a fascinating grove in breathtaking Calistoga. Geologists call this place one of the finest examples of a pliocene fossil forest in the world. The park itself is privately owned and has been since its first proprietor started excavating the large petrified trees in 1871.

Giant redwood trees turned to stone attract thousands of visitors each year to this park in the hills. Rich in history from the late 1800s, the Petrified Forest is a showpiece of explosive volcanic activity.

The park itself was established in 1910 by Ollie Bockee and her family. The Petrified Forest grounds include a great museum devoted to the origin of the fossils and geology of the area. The gift shop features crystals, petrified wood and books.
