Over 215 million years ago there was an alluvial area crossed by rivers. Fallen trees were buried by the floods under mud and silt. Due to the lack of oxygen, the decay slowed down and favored the storage of minerals, which preserved the wooden structures. Most tribes broke up due to tectonic movements and were recently uncovered again by the onset of erosion. And the original route of Route 66 runs right through the park.
