I went solo camping in the Petrified Forest!

Discover the incredible Petrified Forest National Park in northeastern Arizona, a place where the past comes alive in stone. This remarkable park is home to one of the largest and most colorful collections of petrified wood in the world. The ancient trees found here are more than 200 million years old, preserved through a natural process of fossilization that transformed them into brilliant crystalized stone.

Beyond the petrified logs, the park offers much more to explore. Visitors can take in the vibrant landscapes of the Painted Desert, walk among striking badlands, and view centuries-old petroglyphs left behind by early inhabitants. The park also holds pieces of history from more recent times, including remnants of old Route 66, which once crossed through its rugged terrain.

Whether you are drawn by geology, archaeology, or breathtaking desert scenery, the Petrified Forest is a destination that connects you to Earth’s deep history and cultural heritage. It is a place that continues to inspire wonder and curiosity in all who visit.
