Bare Tree of National Brides National Monument

by Kimberly Galvez

With the seeming desert around, it seems hard to find life in the Moab area of the Midwest in the United States. Here, a tree that has long since passed its expiration has been completely dried out due to the lack of moisture in the grueling sun. Any lingering animals use this as a source of shade and possibly dwell inside. The surrounding terrain is composed of late Paleozoic - Early Mesozoic rock that has been eroded by wind over time.
