Agate House Trail is a hike in Petrified Forest National Park in eastern Arizona, managed by the National Park Service. It sits within the park's boundaries, and the nearest town is likely the park's visitor center area, which makes it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the park's fossilized wood and petrified trees. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 72°F and October highs around 74°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. A fee is charged for the visit. Long Logs Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Giant Logs is about 0.6 mile off. Hamilili Point lies roughly 1.7 miles away, and Crystal Forest Trail is about 5.3 miles away.
