  • With one of the world's largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood, multi-hued badlands of the Painted Desert, historic structures, archeological sites, native grassland, and displays of over 200-million-year-old fossils, this is a surprising land of scenic wonders and fascinating science.

  • Petrified wood found in the park and the surrounding region is made up of almost solid quartz. Each piece is like a giant crystal, often sparkling in the sunlight as if covered by glitter. The rainbow of colors is produced by impurities in the quartz, such as iron, carbon, and manganese.

  • Petrified Forest was set aside as a national monument in 1906 to preserve and protect the petrified wood for its scientific value. It is recognized today for having so much more, including a broad representation of the Late Triassic paleo-ecosystem, significant human history, clear night skies, fragile grasslands ecosystem, and unspoiled scenic vistas.

  • I arrived at Bright Angel Point two hours prior to shooting this photo before the sun rised.  We were staying at a cabin nearby the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim.  When you are at the lodge, the views of the grandure and vastness of the scenary are incredible.  It is hard to imagine the tremendous uplift that has occurred, leaving the canyon's North Rim 1,000 feet/300 meters higher than the South Rim.  Bright Angel Point is 8,148 feet/2,484 meters above sea level (5,780 feet/1,762 meters above the Colorado River), to put this distance in perspective, the Washington Monument is 555 feet 5 1/8  inches (169.294 m) so the Grand Canyon at Bright Angel Point is over ten times the height of the Washington Monument above the Colorado River.

  • As we left Grand Canyon National Park, we drove out to Desert View Tower and stopped along the way.  This photo is from the picnic area that is west of Grandview Point.  It was interesting how the sun lit up a small spot on what I believe is Horseshoe Mesa.  Grandview Point is 7,399 feet/2256 meters above sea level.
