Virtual Wayside Tour

This virtual tour is based on two of our most popular and informative trails where you can learn more about the geologic heritage of the Florissant Valley. The Petrified Forest Loop wanders amongst giant stumps of ancient redwood trees that grew in this valley during the Eocene epoch 34 million years ago, while the Geologic Trail takes you even deeper to explore events of Earth’s history more than a billion years old.
