When you walk around the Valley Of Fire the first thing that comes to mind is the desolation. Then when you get out you think to yourself  what this area may have looked like millions of years ago. You see this area was not always dry desert actually at one time it contained a forest where animals lived where creeks and rivers flowed. All of it is dried up and eventually many parts of the world will be consumed by the desert. The earth is like an organ and it will die with only proof of the past buried beneath it much like this forest.

There are two petrified log stop offs in the Valley Of Fire I visited one next time I will visit the other one.  The logs and stumped washed into the area from an ancient forest about 225 million years ago a time when dinosaurs roamed this area. 

The forest was not in the area we investigated however just a matter of miles it did exist and when flood waters existed it carried those logs. It was buried beneath thousands of feet of silt, sand, ocean bed and rocks. Over the years the minerals consumed the logs turning them into stone. The petrified logs are very unique to the area.

In the west these petrified logs are not uncommon however this one we visited are of ancient pines where once reptiles once climbed on and roamed through. The Araucarian Pines are not extinct they are often called the Monkey Puzzle Tree because the monkey would climb up them and could not get back down cause of the sharp limbs that faced upwards like spikes. If you want to see the pods from one of these trees check out this link Click Here: Monkey Puzzle Tree Pods half way down the page then more further down...I had one of these pines grow next to my old house in Florida. Today these trees are native to south America near the equator so again they are NOT extinct.  Proof of this is at that link. Its amazing that these trees once grew in a forest just outside of Las Vegas at one time!
