Petrified Forest

Approaching the Petrified Forest


In the distance, the San Francisco mountain peaks could be seen. These mountains are north of Phoenix.


The Petrified Forest offered a great museum showing fossils and petrified wood from around the USA. Clearly, the AZ petrified wood is the most colorful. Unfortunately about 1 ton of petrified wood is stolen from the park a month. Pictures from previous decades reveal mounds of wood all across the desert.
