Petrified Forest
back
Looking back to the parking lot
 
Trail to the Petrified forest
 
And, sure enough...
 
I'll give these guys a wide berth...
 
 
Dozens of standing stumps
 
Sisyrinchium montanum
 
The hike was not without other rewards
 
 
Euphorbia esula
 
 
 
 
 
The progression
 
 
I'm going with Comandra umbellata on this one
