Dry Creek Petrified Forest

In less than an hour, you can drive back 60 million years, as you make your way across the gently rolling hills of ranch country east of Buffalo.   Your destination is a small stand of petrified cypress trees that lived during the Eocene Period,  just after the dinosaurs became extinct..   Along with the signs that explain the history of the petrified trees, there is an 8-station ecological trail that will tell you about the animals and plants that make their home on the site today.
