In eastern Arizona near the New Mexico border is Petrified National Park and Painted Desert; another combined park experience. We drove through Holbrook with their Route 66 old cars, motels, and gas stations stuck in a time warp en route to our destination.
Although every state has petrified wood, this is the largest concentration of it in the United States
The day we visited was sunny, hot, and very bright. We've been told that the Painted Desert really shines in the rain with the colors enhanced by the moisture
Petroglyphs. This couple obviously looks female and male. I'm wondering what their story is...
The Painted Desert Inn is located on original Route 66 and has been preserved. Weary travelers sat at it's soda fountain, bar, and restaurant.
The original walls were made from petrified wood.
The lodge has a great view.. It would be so cool to see a storm roll through from this vantage.
We're so close to Grand Canyon that we sometimes drive up for the day just to have a picnic and enjoy the view. This time we went to Desert Tower
