The ancient world revealed within Petrified Forest National Park

One of the best places on earth containing the fossil record of the Late Triassic Period. The remains of prehistoric forests preserved as petrified wood, plant, and animal fossils. Petroglyphs are preserved as scribed by inhabitants of this area nearly 800 years ago. Our favorite hike in the park, the trail from The Teepees through the badlands to the Blue Mesa.
