 Petrified Forest
The Petrified
Forest is the only National Park with an
Interstate Highway running through it. If you are
anywhere on Arizona's I40, you need to make a trip
through this park. There are two distinct areas
within the park. The first is the painted desert
toward the north and the other is the petrified trees
that are more to the south. There are a few
locations where both intersect. There is actually
a lot of petrified wood. In the park, it remains
located naturally however ranchers in the surrounding
area have mined tons of the stuff and have there finds
for sale in the Holbrook.
