No...The Petrified Forest is Not Scared (or really a forest, either)

All over Holbrook, you see "Rock Stores." This seemed funny at first. They sell gorgeous pieces of polished and unpolished petrified wood, gems and fossils. Very cool.

There is petrified wood all over Holbrook, even next to the KOA bathroom. Stone-like pieces of wood that you'd swear were poured into tree-shaped molds.

The Petrified Forest is a National Park (tip: Glad we bought our National Parks pass at The Grand Canyon. $50 annually.) It also features the views of the Painted Desert and ancient petroglyphs. We really enjoyed our visit here!
