Agate House Trail

0.9-mile paved round trip leads through petrified wood and ends at a reconstructed Anasazi Indian Pueblo.

The 8-room pueblo sits on a knoll, 50 feet above the surrounding area. The walls are built entirely of petrified wood sealed with adobe. Archeologists say the pueblo was only occupied for a short period between 1100 and 1300 AD.
