Day 11.2: Hard Rock

These petrified logs are actually like rocks now...minerals have replaced the cellulose over eons of years. As the soil erodes, more of them appear on the surface. We saw some slices of a log that had been polished, and it was a beautiful natural sculpture. At the end of the day, around sunset, we arrived at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
