At this time last year, a highlight of our visit to Petrified Forest National Park near Holbrook, AZ, was Crystal Forest, an easy hike through a rolling landscape adorned with many chunks, and even entire tree trunks, of petrified wood. But before entering Crystal Forest, the view of the butte across the parking lot was quite amazing.

I am promising myself to some day going back and taking the time to hike around that butte and look at the back of it.
