There is a lot petrified wood along the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Parker and Franktown area is rich in petrified wood. Try visiting any new construction areas where they are putting in new roads, foundations, pipes etc. Just look for it lying right on top of the ground, sometimes just a tip is sticking out the soil.

Another source would be Commercial Landscaping companies when they bring in Petrified Wood by the pallet. I have added the article to the Suiseki page.
