Petrified Logs

Petrified Wood and Ed, originally uploaded by Edgee.

We stopped at the Petrified Forest National Park in northern Arizona to see the beautiful landscapes and the petrified wood that the park is named for. The landscape was reminiscent of Badlands National Park in South Dakota. We saw petroglyphs, which are drawings on the rock faces left by the people who lived here long ago. We also had the opportunity to observe a small group of pronghorns grazing for food. It was a windy and cold day, but the sky was clear and we could see miles in any direction.
