Petrified Forest National Park
Red-colored badlands, blue-banded rock formations, a section of Historic Route 66, Native American sites and fossilized trees make up the remarkably varied landscape of Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona.
Named for its huge density of petrified logs, this is one of the world’s best places to see fossils from the Late Triassic. Petrified Forest National Park allows you to walk where dinosaurs roamed and to stand where ancient forests fell.
These arid landscapes may seem desolate and empty, but a closer look reveals an age-old geological and natural experiment that’s still ongoing to this day.
