Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert
Petrified wood, multicolored badlands and vast horizons along the old Route 66.
To understand what Petrified Forest and Painted Desert are, you need to look at Painted Desert Inn, Blue Mesa and Crystal Forest. These places give us a view of a territory marked by desert areas, heritage and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.

Place indismissible
Painted Desert Inn
Painted Desert Inn dominates the colorful badlands of the north of Petrified Forest, with its stone and adobe architecture linked to the historic road. Inside, the Hopi frescoes and details of the 1930s tell as much about the car tourism as the landscape that one came to contemplate from its windows.

Place indismissible
Blue Mesa
Blue Mesa plunges into an amphitheater of blue, purple and grey badlands, striated like painted clay. The trail descends between soft hills and petrified trunks, making the park much more tactile than a simple view from the road.

Place indismissible
Crystal Forest
Crystal Forest due its name to the quartz shrapnel that once shimmered in the petrified wood, still visible in abundance along the path. Broken trunks resemble logs left on the ground, but their mineral colours tell of a forest changed to stone over a dizzying weather.

Place indismissible
Newspaper Rock
Newspaper Rock In dark blocks, a concentration of petroglyphs engraved by ancient peoples of the region is observed from a gazebo, often at the twin, which keeps a respectful distance while letting guess human silhouettes, animals, spirals and mysterious signs.
