Description
In primevel times, a great volcanic eruption hundreds of time greater than Mt. St. Helen's, leveled the surrounding forest, once leveled the trees were wash down severl miles, buried in mud and ash until they became petrified and later exposed again thru time till we find them today. more trees than are seen are still buried. what an amazing natural wonder.

We have a petrified forest in northern california as well and it is amazing to see the size of the trees felled by the volcano's eruption. Such power and so wonderful that they were preserved in such a way to last so long. Great shot.
