Just off I40 en route to Flagstaff is The Petrified Forest National Park. Our focus this time was on the Painted Desert portion of the park. It's Nature at her amazing best. 

There are beautiful vistas everywhere you look

The Painted Desert Inn has a long and colorful (of course!) history,
dating from 1920. Once a stop on Route 66, it preserves its
heritage for today's travelers. Read more about it HERE.

Hiking? Maybe next time ....

You can drive to a number of overlooks

Time for a quick selfie before we head back to I40 and continue to Sedona.

NEXT STOP: SEDONA
