At first I was a tree, now I’m petrified. Thinking all my wooden rings had turned to stone inside.

I will survive...I will survive! Here’s pumpkin to talk about. Petrified Forest National Park is a surprising land of scenic wonders and fascinating science. The park contains one of the world's largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood, multi-hued badlands of the Chinle Formation, portions of the Painted Desert, historic structures, archeological sites, and displays of 225-million-year-old fossils.⁣
