Route 66 - Part 3 - Petrified Forest & Painted Desert National Park

I gotta be honest with you, I thought the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert were separate places…two different National Parks. So, I was surprised to be driving and then realize they are combined. And even more surprised to find out that the Painted Desert isn’t a National Park at all, instead it is part of the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. Can you tell this was my first visit here? My mom had been here before with my dad 23 years ago, but for me, it was all new!
