    March 29, 2023

    The Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park preserve one of the largest petrified forests on the planet! A museum shows interesting facts of how the different species of trees were encased by flowing lava. There are also two hiking trails that will lead you to the mineralized tree trunks such as elm, ginkgo, walnut and much more. The petrified wood was discovered in the early 1930s.
