Prehistoric Produce overview
Prehistoric Produce
One of the main reasons to visit Prehistoric Produce is to witness the vast collection of petrified wood that is scattered throughout the area. This wood, which dates back to the Late Triassic period, has been beautifully preserved and often displays a range of vibrant colors and patterns. In fact, the park is home to the largest concentration of petrified wood in the world!
In addition to the petrified wood, visitors to Prehistoric Produce can also see a range of other prehistoric fossils such as dinosaur bones and ancient ferns. This area was once a lush forest and many of the fossils found here offer a glimpse into the unique flora and fauna that once thrived in this region.
Another reason to visit Prehistoric Produce is to explore the ancient ruins of the Puerco Pueblo. This archaeological site was once home to a thriving community of Native Americans and offers visitors a fascinating insight into the history and culture of this region.
Overall, Prehistoric Produce is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the natural history of the United States. With its incredible collection of petrified wood, fossilized remains and archaeological sites, this attraction is unlike anything else you will find in the country.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
