The Painted Desert and Petrified Forest

By Mary

Today we went to the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest National Park. Essentially you drive through the 28 miles of park and stop to do hiking trails to see points of interest or to look at scenic overlooks. The views we saw were truly awesome.

Seeing the park today makes me feel sad that we didn't have a blog the last 6 plus years to record all of the wonderful sights we have been privileged to see. I wish I had a better record of all of our travels.
After the park, we stopped at a couple of bars for a drink then home for homemade pizza.
