Itinerary description
This is the 1mile walk around the Florissant Fossil Bed National Monument. The route is well marked and with a good gravel surface. Lots of information stops along the way and many large petrified tree stumps.
The deposits are of Eocene age (34Ma old). Preserved due to ash fall from the nearby Guffy Volcanic Center.
