Petrified Forest from Nevada, Arizona, and Utah Trip

u003cpu003eu003cspan jsslot=u0022u0022u003eu003cspanu003eThe Petrified Forest is formed from tall trees called conifers. They grew over 200 million years ago near waterways. During floods, water forced the trees to be pulled up from the ground. Over time, the wood from the trees became petrified.  The word “forest” may mislead visitors. The park is in a desert.u003cbr /u003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e
