Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument

Huge petrified redwoods and incredibly detailed fossils of ancient insects and plants reveal are found here. Almost 35 million years ago, enormous volcanic eruptions buried the then-lush valley and petrified the redwood trees that grew there. A lake formed in the valley and it became the final resting-place for many insects and plants. The visitor center, just 2 miles south of Florissant, offers a look at fossil collections and features hiking trails.
