Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest National Park

Petrified Forest National Park and the Painted Desert showcase a moonscape-like terrain of rolling badlands, flat-topped mesas, and dramatic buttes. Travelers can explore 28 miles of striking topography that shifts from soft desert tans to marble blues and culminates in the vivid reds of the Painted Forest, dotted with fossilized trees and unique rock formations. Located 58 miles east on I-40, The Winslow is the perfect starting point for a day of exploration and awe-inspiring desert scenery.
