Top places to visit

1. Petrified Forest National Park

The ancient trees of Petrified Forest National Park turned to quartz over many years as minerals from volcanic ash and silica replaced plant material. Once a forest, the area is now a semi-arid grassland. View beautiful desert flowers, shrubs and striking landscapes which perfectly complement the forest of fossilized logs.

2. Blue Mesa

Blue Mesa is truly a sight that must be seen to be believed. It looks more like the work of an artist’s paintbrush than natural geologic processes. Perhaps that is why the area surrounding it is called the Painted Desert. No visit to Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park is complete without exploring the remarkable Blue Mesa. Drive the 3.5-mile (5.6-kilometer) loop trail around the mesa or hike into the badlands.
