These parks are two hours east of Flagstaff on Interstate 40. The Painted Desert is an area of 7,000 square miles of brilliantly colored hills and eroded rock formations that includes the Petrified Forest to the south. The Petrified Forest is known for its fossils and fallen trees from the Triassic period, 200 million years ago. The parks offer some of the most unusual landscapes you'll even see.

$20 entrance fee gives you 7 days. The total drive is 28 miles. You can enter south via Holbrook, or north entrance, near I40. Cute blond park ranger at south entrance.
I'm listening....

What I always do is I purchase the annual pass to the national parks and monuments. It's well worth it if you are going to more then one park. Petrified National Park has a fee for going inside as do most of them. If you are going through that area, Rainbow Canyon near Page, Ca and south of Grand Canyon is really nice. It won't be on your radar because it is on a indian reservation, but more then worth it. I will see if I can find a few pictures later today and post them
