Painted Desert Inn

4,7 / 5· Hidengo1 a 2 h

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.

Blue Mesa

4,6 / 5· Hidengo1 a 2 h

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.

Crystal Forest

4,5 / 5· Hidengo1 a 2 h

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.

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.
