Crystal Forest
Yesterday: Agate House
This continues the documentation of our recent trip to the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona.
Crystal Forest is another trail area in the PFNP, strewn with pieces of petrified trees.
This sign describes what scientists think this area looked like during the Triassic period. It was a hell of a lot wetter, and when the forests that were here were submerged in silty water, they were infused with the crystaline silicates that resulted in them becoming petrified.
Strix thought the shadow side of this formation looked like the outline of a camel, so it was thus named.
Tomorrow: Blue Mesa
