The trailhead for the Giant Logs is right behind the Rainbow Forest Museum and leads you on a half-mile long, asphalt-paved sidewalk, winding around large stumps and logs of petrified wood, and out to the most beautiful, colorful, and desolate scenic overlook.

There’s also a fun geocache at this trail. On this trip, we had so much fun interweaving geocaching with what we were already doing. It was super entertaining to have these little side quests, and it’s also somewhat embarassing to search for those caches in front of people who have no idea what you’re doing haha.

Here’s the super-giant log for which this trail was named. Look at it just chilling up there on the hill.

*Obsessed* with these badlands views.

Then we took a bazillion pics of each other soaking in the other worldly view.

The wind was crazy out there and we could still see that thunderstorm looming in the distance, so we quickly bopped back to the car with hopes to make it to each side along the main road of the park.

Next up: Crystal Forest & a pit stop at the Agate Bridge.
