Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona: A One Day Travel Guide

Petrified Forest National Park is a beautiful area in about an hour and a half east of Flagstaff in Arizona. The park features tons of petrified wood, beautiful petroglyphs, and an awesome historic adobe hotel. You can spend a lot of time exploring this park, but if you only have one day, here is how I recommend you make the most of it.

I love how your videos are clear and concise with little to no useless talk or info. Well done keep up the good work

[WrenIsPhoenix]

You make the best travel videos on youtube and I mean that most sincerely. You give an overview that is both concise and compelling.

We were there a few months ago. We were blown away by the sites, such a beautiful park, all the hikes were scenic and easy/moderate.

Back in 2008 I was moving from Loveland CO to Visalia CA, I ended up staying the night in Gallup NM on the way (after experiencing a sunset in Albuquerque!). Got up EARLY in the morning and hit Petrified Forest at about 6:30am. I was the only person in the park and got to stroll around while listening to Pat Benatar's song "Painted Desert" on my ipod. It was a really cool experience!

I'm actually watching The Petrified Forest right now, it's what brought me to this.

There's so much to see in this country. Who needs to go elsewhere ?

[fralinsandfriends]

Thank you for the tour. There are so many places I can't go personally because of health and access. I've wanted to see the petrified forest up close. That's for showing me the highlights and helping me travel to a beautiful part of our country. 😁💖👋

This video is PERFECT for what I was looking for about the PF. I wanted a quick overview with tips on what to see and how to see it, and that’s exactly what you delivered! Thank you so much! 👍🏻

So cool. Hard to believe wood can turn to stone over time. Surreal landscape and very interesting indeed ! Your videos are just wonderful 🇨🇦

Very cool, I live in Tucson. So an easy trip for me. I will do it soon. Thanks, always great videos

[allieophardt]

You sold this park for me! I gotta get out there in a few weeks

[michaeltaylor]

I'm just east of Snowflake, AZ. Digging my garden is a pain in the butt with all the chunks. Makes great yard decorations.
Petrified wood can also be found in the Bisti Badlands of NM

Those colorful hills are so similar to the rainbow mountain in Cusco, Peru
