After reading this story, I recalled seeing upright trees from a lava flow at Lava Tree State Park on Big Island, Hawaii. From the article I'm linking though, it seems that after the lava flow the lava cooled on the outside of the trees before drained away. The insides of trees burned, leaving a shell in shape of tree, so these trees aren't really petrified like those in Yellowstone.
