Wednesday, June 10 - Just a few miles after re-entering Arizona, we made a quick visit to our 7th national park of the trip: Petrified Forest National Park. We got there only a half hour before closing, so we had just enough time to drive the scenic road through the park which takes you through the Painted Desert, past some rock formations called the Teepees, and though the desert strewn with big pieces of logs that have been turned into stone, which date back 225 million years. While our visit was brief, the evening light as the sun was setting cast some really great light on the rocks.
Madeline here.... how old is that petrified banana? It couldn't be more than 1 million years old. Still looking delicious!
