Yellowstone: Mammoth Hot Springs to Fishing Bridge

Pronghorn

Forget-me-not

Protected petrified tree. 
There are fossil forests, with trees like this one, standing in remote parts of the park, created by volcanism and ash maybe a million years ago, when cell tissue was replaced with minerals. Much more recently a fossilized tree is revealed by erosion.
