The Petrified Forest

Flat Jenny enjoyed a short 2 mile VERY difficult and steep hike through the petrified forest near Escalante, UT. She loved the scenery and was excited to see petrified wood for the first time. Flat Jenny passed Bryce Canyon National Park on the way to the trail head, but alas, there was not enough time to stop and visit. Maybe next time?
There were large pieces of petrified wood all over the area in every color of the rainbow. Flat Jenny thought they were SO COOL!
It is difficult to tell in this picture, but those are not big boulders . . . they are chunks of huge petrified logs! And, up close they were really pretty, but not so much in the picture. Oh, well. Flat Jenny still had a great time, even though the pictures don't look too spectacular. Jenny loves adventures of all sorts!
