This is the Petrified Forest where there are many logs of the petrified wood. Some were very colorful, depending on the particular crystal created at the time it was petrified. It was illegal to pick any pieces of the wood, but pieces of all sizes and colors could be purchased at various gift shops here and all over Arizona. We were able to afford a couple pieces from the owners of our campsite.
These particular logs were quite large and beautiful.
This log has been reinforced with a concrete foundation. It was very large. Created from a fallen petrified tree across a span of rock. It is called the Agate Bridge.
This is a section of petrified log found by an individual who polished it and donated it to the National Park. It weighs over 800 poundsl
More of the petrified forest. Joe and Sue stopped for a picture.
