Petrified National Forest & Painted Desert
On the last leg of our journey from California, we headed to the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona where you can see shimmering petrified wood throughout the park. There is a wealth of educational information available in the park telling how the petrified wood formed slowly over millions of years within the sediment forming a rainbow of vibrant crystalized colors. However, I believe the evidence points to our wondrous Creator and the flood recorded in Genesis 6-9.
Grand Canyon National Park
We had tossed around the idea of visiting the Grand Canyon National when planning our California trip but had decided against it because of time constraints. On our drive to our hotel in Flagstaff, we were just too close not to swing by, so Daniel made the executive decision to go so that we could check it off the list and at least say that we had been there. Both Caleb and I had never seen the Grand Canyon and after having our brief visit, we both want to return when we can see more of it and appreciate its majestic beauty.
