Just went yesterday. Such beautiful views. We had a fantastic experience, thank you for sharing!

[@sevenirises]

Yes....thank you.

Awesome video! I didn’t realize you could find that much petrified wood over here. Those pieces with the quartz crystals are immaculate

[@utah_rockhound]

Thank you!!

[@coletfodt]

Wow you found some big chunks this time, Ive got to try my luck again, last time it was right after a rain storm and so muddy my truck slid all over the place so we didn't make it too far up the road

[@utah_rockhound]

Yeah, my last trip was similar. The mud made it difficult to get too far in. This time was much better!

[@zlatansmithlord]

Love it up there! I’ve pulled some nice big chunks of wood out of there the past few years. This past spring, we took, our utv and ran into transmission issues right at the narrowest spot in the road next to the cliffs🤣🤣🤣🤣. We survived, and came away with some beauties. I’m undeterred, will probably go back again next year 😅

[@utah_rockhound]

Those cliffs are crazy! But certainly worth the risk! It is such a cool spot!

[@garredsheppard7222]

We were up that way in the spring. Do you use anything to clean the wood up or remove some of the rock that is attached to the wood?

[@utah_rockhound]

I don’t. Just soap water and a toothbrush!
