Petrified Forest National Park, 1968 Photo Gallery by Chris Utter at pbase.com

Petrified Forest National Park, 1968

On December 8, 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt set aside "selected forests" as Petrified Forest National Monument. In 1932, some 2,500 acres more of the Painted Desert were purchased and added to the Monument. On December 9, 1962, the area became Petrified Forest National Park, and in 1970, 50,000 acres were further set aside as a wilderness area.

Pictures taken on a trip in October, 1968; scanned from color negatives.
Total of 40 photos out of four rolls of Kodak Kodacolor, 12 exposures each, shot using a 2 1/4" Rollie.

Comments welcome.

I plan on visiting here in September, 2006.

Gallery created 8/31/2006; new gallery created from my visit of 9/15/2006.
