Jasper Forest at Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona | Landscapes in The West by Jeff Hollett
Landform
Chinle badlands and a field of petrified logs at Jasper Forest and Blue Mesa. Not the Tawa Point view.
Field note
Jasper Forest and Blue Mesa are in Petrified Forest National Park, which the National Park Service administers. The Chinle Formation erodes into colored badlands, and petrified logs lie on the benches. The painted-desert plate is Tawa Point in the same park. This plate is the log fields and Blue Mesa, not that overlook.
