After lunch we headed to see the Petrified Forest National Park. It is not really a forest, that I thought was funny. It's origin goes back many years, something like 225 millions years ago.
In a nutshell, they say there was a big flood and all these trees got uprooted and washed down a river, the ended up being covered with water and sediment. Later the land rose up, water dried up, sediment eroded away and left these petrified trees laying on the ground.
It is an amazing place to see, the land is like being on another planet. It just feels so strange being there, I wonder what early settlers thought of the place when they discovered it.
