A few large stumps of petrified wood lay about the trail in the typical red and yellow colors for the area. A signpost pointing the direction for the sleeping rainbow trail is also visible along with a view towards the valley in the distance.
Two large stumps of petrified wood that exhibit strong coloration throughout, in the typical yellow mustard and crimson red seen around this area.

A view of the sunset on the other side of the half frozen pond, with flying geese and some standing on the ice. Clouds over a silhouetted hillside reflect in pink and yellow, reminiscent of the coloration of the area's petrified wood.
