I had the opportunity to visit the Petrified Forest National Park in eastern Arizona. Having woke up that morning in New Mexico to a fresh five inch snowfall, I wondered what the park might look like. It was heavily overcast morning on the drive and upon arrival at the park. The snow was still standing at the park, but was melting rapidly as the temperatures increased. The park did not disappoint, as the colors in the hills and mountains were stunning.
Many people think of other national parks in Arizona to visit, but I highly recommend visiting the Petrified Forest. You can enter the north end of the park, just off I-40. There is an excellent loop road that you drive upon with many stops along with way to see the magnificent views.
