Back from my trip to Grand Staircase Escalante NM in Utah. At Escalante Petrified Forest SP I saw the largest, most plentiful and intensely colored petrified tree stumps. They date back 220 million years. Very special treat to see. They were conifers and some have been identified as belonging to the Auricaria family.
