Traveling on down the road...

Another stopping place on our travels through Northern Arizona was the Petrified Forest. We had often passed the signs driving on I-40 but never had time to stop.

This National Park is a drive-thru with several marked stops throughout the Park.

Most of the petrified pieces were located by the visitor center stop...

As we drove through the park, we saw odd & wonderful contrasts of color and shape...

Some petroglyphs...

..and a partial glimpse of the Painted Desert in the distance.
