Where are the trees?

Do you see any trees in these pictures? Our favorite Geologist, Signe, lead the cub scouts on a tour of the petrified forest near Vantage. Yes, I said forest. Where is it? Why underground, of course!

The petrified Ginko trees are viewable through metal grates. Does Wesley look impressed?


It was a warm day but the kids had a blast anyway.


Sig taught the kids all about the geology of the area and the details of how the trees came to be underground.


This was a trip for the Webelos group (4th grade) but Dad, Cameron and Wesley went along too. It was a great success!
