We hiked a bit shorter portion of the Petrified Forest Trail last week and I have some almost identical pictures as you. Wow, that sure was a great hike! We loved it, but I believe that the wildlife must love you more than us. The only snake that we saw that day was a "skin only". No bison at all. I was disappointed.<br />Great blog today.Steve and Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/06756346672179586954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-58522307552551342392014-07-29T15:45:46.365-04:002014-07-29T15:45:46.365-04:00Well I wouldn't have thunk it for sure.
