Petrified Forest National Park

We visited the surreal Petrified Forest National Park last weekend in Northeast Arizona. A minor bucket list item for us, and relatively easy to access. We entered the park from the south entrance, and traveled the meandering two lane road for 26 miles through the park.

Along the way we encountered a myriad of different landscapes, petrified wood from entire logs, to pebbles, painted desert mounds and tepees, to stunning canyon vistas north of Interstate 40.

It's $20 per vehicle, which is fair considering you can spend the entire day in the park, and there are lots of trails, and pull-outs for pictures. They are extremely adamant about not taking home souvenirs, so keep that in mind if you ever visit the park. It's an incredible place.
