Petrified Forest National Park

The day after the BIG blow.

It has taken a LOT of running water to make this area what it is.


Petrified tree trunks

Big, long petrified tree trunks

Notice Darlene at the end of a big, long petrified tree trunk

Looks like someone ran a petrified tree through a log chipper

Petrified log sitting on a ridge until it broke in half and fell down.


Look at all the layers laid down by LOTS of water

I wish you could see the earth tones, purples, light blues and greens in the layers

Struggling to make it in a hostile environment


Petroglyphs

Pueblo ruins

Rain comes out of the clouds, but never makes it to the thirsty ground (Virga)
After Petrified Forest NP we will leave the Holbrook, AZ area, have an overnight at Albuquerque, NM, and land near Amarillo, TX at the "Grand Canyon of Texas" (maybe you didn't know there was such a thing). Pictures to prove what a beautiful place it is in my next post.
