The Petrified Tree is located near the main park road from Mammoth Hot Springs to Tower-Roosevelt, near Tower-Roosevelt. The only remaining piece in the area is placed behind a fence to protect it from vandals and collectors. There used to be two other trees here, but were removed a piece at a time by past park visitors who took them home as souvenirs. The attraction was created during volcanic activity. Trees had their organic structure replaced by minerals while they were slowly buried by volcanic ash. Afterwards, take a scenic drive towards the Roosevelt Lodge area, named after the former president Theodore Roosevelt who used to enjoy this area of the park during his visits to Wyoming. Guest cabins are open during the warmer season. For reservations, call 307-344-7311 or visit www.travelyellowstone.com. The Dining Room serves dishes such as baked beans and barbecued pork ribs in a rustic setting. Made famous by idyllic paintings of Thomas Moran, Tower Fall is created by a 132-foot drop of Tower Creek near Tower-Roosevelt and visible from the main road that goes to Canyon Village.
