Petrified Forest Loop Trailhead

Medora, ND

A remote trail leads to one of the highest concentrations of petrified wood in the United States, including large fossilized stumps from a swampy Paleocene landscape. NPS changed the legal driving approach in 2026; follow the current approved route and never remove fossil wood or stone.

Filed under museums: small, specific collections run by people who care far too much.
