Petrified Forest National Park was established in 1962 after it was declared National Monument in 1906 is an American national park in Navajo and Apache counties in northeastern Arizona. Named for its large deposits of petrified wood, the park covers about 346 square miles (900 square kilometers), encompassing semi-desert shrub steppe as well as highly eroded and colorful badlands.
The Petrified Forest is known for its fossils, especially fallen trees that lived in the Late Triassic Epoch, about 225 million years ago. The sediments containing the fossil logs are part of the widespread and colorful Chinle Formation, from which the Painted Desert gets its name.
This National Park is astonishing, any time spent at Petrified Forest National Park is time well spent. The highest concentrations of petrified wood are found in the southern end of the park, while the northern end showcases the human story and Painted Desert views.

The thing is, about this scene, is that a tourist standing near by noted that the petrefied forest wasn't much to see as all the trees had been cut down. Not much to see here. I near fell over!! A lot of great photos in your portfolio. Thanks for the view and follow. Best of 22 to you.
