Petrified Forest National Park | VanLife Adventures

We head into the Petrified Forest National Park for some hiking adventures! First a hike to the Onyx Bridge then a late lunch break and off for another hike before ending just outside the south entrance for an overnight camp at the gift shop! More hikes next time!
As always, I appreciate you watching!

    Amazing place that you captured beautifully. Can't help but wonder what it looked like millions of years ago when it was green. Who knows what history lies in all the layers of rock and soil. Certainly hope we are not looking into the future of things to come. This is such a gorgeous planet and we need to take better care of it. Caught those glimpses of Brian. Happy to see you sharing the adventure together. Thank you for sharing with us. Appreciate your generosity. 💖

    Kelly, I think we were there about the same time. Pretty awesome. The things you learn while traveling is amazing. Did you get to go to Holbrook and see the old cars and cement teepees? That is pretty fun too. When we drove through there was a Volkswagen bug tuned into a camper. Enjoy your day.

    How long does it take for the trees to petrify?

  • @briansmith054

    @briansmith054

    2 жыл бұрын

    Thought I would google it!!! It takes millions of years for petrified wood to form. The process begins when wood is buried quickly and deeply by water and mineral-rich sediment, removing it from a high-oxygen environment. This slows the process of decomposition nearly to a halt, letting the minerals in the water and sediment seep into the wood.

    I film and edit solely on my phone so there isn’t much control on volume (even when editing). I will change to editing on a computer at some point but isn’t in the cards right now. Sorry, maybe check back in 6 months, maybe it will be better! 🤷🏻‍♀️
