I'd so love to go here one day. Until then, videos!

I remember driving thru the Petrified Forest with my cousin 45 years ago. We were driving a VW Bus and had long hair.
I remember a Park Ranger asking us if we had any rocks or stones from the park as we were leaving. I answered, Yes sir, I got a lot of stones and it's all on film! I proudly showed him my Nikon Camera. We had a good laugh as he waved us on to be on our way. Nowadays, if I said that to a park ranger, I'd be tased and chased down by a Black Hawk Chopper. LOL
Seriously, it was an amazing park to see. It's well worth the stop!
BTW, the Park Ranger was very polite and had a good sense of humor.

Excellent video! We are traveling the national parks this year with our three girls. We are t able to visit this one because of the shut down, so this is nice to see. Great information!!

Seen this place on the map going to Cali from New Mexico. We decided to check it out and were wonderfully surprised. Petrified Forest NP is a gem. If you don't like hiking this is a place worth visiting because you can get through the park by car and see all the major points. So much history here and old route 66 runs through the park.

We stopped by there during a road trip in the SW USA back in 1999. We abided of the rule of not taking anything, but then my wife locked the keys of the hire car in the boot. I walked to find a ranger and he managed to get it open. Then the whole boot was turned out to find the keys. Other people stared in disgust, obviously thinking that we had been caught stealing. Hilarious.

Northwest to the National park you will see a forest full of tree stumps that have been cut down … an I mean Giant Stumps at that ! Time to reevaluate all the things we were taught

I went there on my way to California 1 year. It is very much worth the trip. I wish they would have said what types of trees they were. There are several Petrified Forest here in the United States and there are some abroad. Washington state has a Petrified Forest where some trees are still standing. There was a volcanic eruption and many years later ice and water flows that took away some of the organic Ash and waste. That left some beautiful examples of petrified wood and some petrified trees are still standing

I remember being told how the trees soaked up water from the ground and it caused the trees to turn to stones. Then after thinking for a while and doing some research I found that there aren't any ground deposits of that material anywhere near there when I asked what happened to all that mineral laden water, they told me it evaporated. I love scientific explanations to complex problems. Why didn't it leave behind deposits that weren't just in trees only?
