Om
Hurtige fakta: Forestil dig at gå gennem gamle træstammer, der for mere end 20 millioner år siden blev forstenet på grund af vulkansk aktivitet. Over 90 forstenede træstammer spredt over et område på 150 hektar gør det til en af de største forstenede skove i verden.
Højdepunkter: Dette sted indeholder nogle af de mest spektakulære forstenede nåletræer og palmer, der fanger et øjebliksbillede af en forhistorisk subtropisk skov. Føl de teksturerede overflader på disse stentrapper og se sjældne forstenede blade, der fortæller historier fra miocænepoken.
