Petrified Forest Loop, Cripple Creek, ND
The Petrified Forest in North Dakota is probably unlike any place you’ve ever been. In these lands, you’ll find unbelievable landscapes, American buffalo, antelope, elk, and petrified wood specimens that have apparently turned to stone over time… And the good news is that The Petrified Forest Loop isn’t strenuous, so it can be enjoyed in one day if your not an expert hiker.
Most of your hike will be through lots of relaxing rolling grassland, so you’ll be singing “where the buffalo roam” in no time. However, one thing to bear in mind is that there isn’t a reliable water source on this hike, so you should plan accordingly.
If you choose the north trail, it has a more significant concentration of petrified wood, so be ready to have your mind blown by all the picture-worthy things you see along the way. To access the Petrified Forest Loop, head west on I-94 and follow the signs leading to the Petrified Forest.
