Scenic View/Photo Spot
When you get to the bottom of the steep hill, the trail is well-worn and easy to see as it passes between the red badland hills. Please do not climb on these hills; stay on the path here. As you come out of the hills, stay close to the right. The red hills are part of the Petrified Forest Member of the Chinle Formation. On top of some of them is a crenulated white layer. This is the Black Forest tuff.
