Utah State Park west of Escalante protecting colorful Chinle Formation petrified wood on mesa trails above Wide Hollow Reservoir. Short interpretive hikes (Petrified Forest / Sleeping Rainbows) with dense logs and chips in place — collect only where posted rules allow (typically none off designated collecting; park protects in situ wood).
