This photo shows the highlight of the first overlook stop. There are a series of these large petrified logs that look like they're on a pedestal as the underlying soil has eroded around it. There used to be another one to the left of this one, but the erosion was too great. It tumbled down the slope about 50 years or so ago. The ranger discovered its demise between one morning and the next... Blue Mesa, Petrified Forest National Park, AZ.
