A little further up the road is the Escalante Petrified Forest. I felt going in that I wasn't very excited to see the rocks shaped like wood, but it might be interesting to learn about them. As it turned out, however, they were all out of trail guides. It made me somewhat cranky to see the marker for interesting item #3, and all I could see was that it was a rock. Also, it was hot.
