Petrified Forest National Park Essentials

Petrified Forest National Park showcases a landscape shaped by 225 million years of geological history. This selection covers the park's two distinct regions: the northern Painted Desert, known for its colorful badlands and the historic Painted Desert Inn, and the southern Rainbow Forest, characterized by dense concentrations of fossilized wood. Key highlights include the ancestral Puebloan ruins at Puerco Pueblo, the extensive petroglyphs of Newspaper Rock, and unique geological formations like the Blue Mesa badlands and the 110-foot-long fossilized span at Agate Bridge.
