Hiking Onyx Bridge, Petrified Forest, Arizona
Hiking from the Painted Desert Inn to Onyx Bridge in the Black Forest section of the Petrified Forest Wilderness of Apache County, AZ. The petrified wood is not as colorful as First Forest Point ( ) or Jasper Forest Road ( ), but the logs are much longer. If no longer whole, still contiguous. An NPS Off the Beaten Path hike.

Petrified Forest National Park is a United States national park in Navajo and Apache counties in northeastern Arizona. Named for its large deposits of petrified wood, the fee area of the park covers about 230 square miles (600 square kilometers), encompassing semi-desert shrub steppe as well as highly eroded and colorful badlands. The park's headquarters is about 26 miles (42 km) east of Holbrook along Interstate 40 (I-40), which parallels the BNSF Railway's Southern Transcon, the Puerco River, and historic U.S. Route 66, all crossing the park roughly east–west. The site, the northern part of which extends into the Painted Desert, was declared a national monument in 1906 and a national park in 1962. About 800,000 people visit the park each year and take part in activities including sightseeing, photography, hiking, and backpacking.
Averaging about 5,400 feet (1,600 m) in elevation, the park has a dry windy climate with temperatures that vary from summer highs of about 100 °F (38 °C) to winter lows well below freezing. More than 400 species of plants, dominated by grasses such as bunchgrass, blue grama, and sacaton, are found in the park. Fauna include larger animals such as pronghorns, coyotes, and bobcats, many smaller animals, such as deer mice, snakes, lizards, seven kinds of amphibians, and more than 200 species of birds, some of which are permanent residents and many of which are migratory. About half of the park is designated wilderness.
The Petrified Forest is known for its fossils, especially fallen trees that lived in the Late Triassic Period, about 225 million years ago. The sediments containing the fossil logs are part of the widespread and colorful Chinle Formation, from which the Painted Desert gets its name. Beginning about 60 million years ago, the Colorado Plateau, of which the park is part, was pushed upward by tectonic forces and exposed to increased erosion. All of the park's rock layers above the Chinle, except geologically recent ones found in parts of the park, have been removed by wind and water. In addition to petrified logs, fossils found in the park have included Late Triassic ferns, cycads, ginkgoes, and many other plants as well as fauna including giant reptiles called phytosaurs, large amphibians, and early dinosaurs. Paleontologists have been unearthing and studying the park's fossils since the early 20th century.
The park's earliest human inhabitants arrived at least 8,000 years ago. By about 2,000 years ago, they were growing corn in the area and shortly thereafter building pit houses in what would become the park. Later inhabitants built above-ground dwellings called pueblos. Although a changing climate caused the last of the park's pueblos to be abandoned by about 1400 CE, more than 600 archeological sites, including petroglyphs, have been discovered in the park. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers visited the area, and by the mid-19th century a U.S. team had surveyed an east–west route through the area where the park is now located and noted the petrified wood. Later, roads and a railway followed similar routes and gave rise to tourism and, before the park was protected, to large-scale removal of fossils. Theft of petrified wood remains a problem in the 21st century.

Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona | ????️ Geocaching | RV Travel Camping
????️ GeoCache Petrified Forest National Park | RV America
???? Video Description:
We decided to do something a bit different in Petrified Forest National Park as we explored it. Geocaching. The rangers at Petrified Forest National Park set coordinates to specific treasures that you can find as you explore and learn the history at Petrified Forest National Park.
You can download the Geocaching App (Geocaching) on either IOS or Android Smart devices. Based on your location, the app will provide you with pinpoints on a map of what geocaches you can search for close by. Within the app, when you click on the geocache, people will often leave comments and there is a clue given as to the location. What I liked about the app is that it uses GPS and adjusts your distance to and from the location of the cache as you walkabout in search of it.
We had a blast at the Petrified Forest National Park doing this. We visited in Late October 2019 and stayed a couple of days boondocking at the gift shop on the south exit of Petrified Forest National Park. To get to this location, you can either drive from the north end park entrance and through the park, or take the county road south from the old Route 66 charming town of Holbrook about 18 miles. If you need gas, you will have to get it in Holbrook.
The entrance to Petrified Forest National Park is very unassuming (as is the whole park). We found out there is so much more to the park than Petrified Wood. Just like Badlands National Park and Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the Dakotas, there are actual badlands in Petrified Forest National Park. Who Knew?! We were so surprise when one of the caches lead us to one of the best views away from the rest of the visitors.
The inn was beautiful, but the iconic cache for me was the location of the old vintage vehicle at the intersection of route 66 and the park. Although the cache was lost, we had a fun time searching,
On the south side of the park, you will see the petrified wood, but DO NOT miss out on Blue Mesa. Blue Mesa is a vast overlook of the south side and some of the most stunning features of the park. Several trails lead out into northeast Arizona wilderness.
We ended up of the history museum on the south side of the park before calling it a day. We were fascinated by the history of the area, once being covered by lakes, glaciers, and deep forest!! So many fascinating dinosaur exhibits as well.
Petrified Forest National Park is very unassuming and could be overlooked if passing by. We found it to be quite the opposite once we ventured inside. Thanks for adventuring with us!

PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK (Grand Canyon VLOG 4)
Grand Canyon (VLOG 4): Petrified Forest National Park - After a night in Holbrook, AZ we backtracked a little bit heading east to visit the Petrified Forest National Park. Petrified Forest National Park is a United States national park in Navajo and Apache counties in northeastern Arizona. It's a National Park that spans 146,930 acres and to see it you need to drive from vantage point to vantage point within the park. Once you get to a stopping point the walk and view is spectacular, but even the scenes while driving makes it hard to keep your eyes on the road.

On The Trail: Petrified Forest National Park
At Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, there can be found an abundance of fossilized wood dating back hundreds of millions of years, lining the trails and topping the hillsides. Although it's illegal, many visitors steal this beautiful wood from the park. But surprisingly, a lot of it has been returned, with apologetic notes! Conor Knighton explores the stories attached to the park and its alleged curse.

Petrified Forest National Monument Arizona
02-06-2015 Produced by Erick F Dircks
We were in no hurry to leave, and didn't start moving around in the RV until after 7am. Bennie came buy, we found out that he retired from the BNSF railroad as a dispatcher, and also a photographer. Yes, we swapped a few railroad war stories. He showed me a clock that he made for this state park, and has made several clocks for other NM State Parks he worked in. He & his wife are also avid RV'ers, and have been long before the term RV was coined. Since we changed our minds about going North of I40, Bennie gave us several suggestions on his favorite spots in Arizona, after all he was from there. We are getting close to the Arizona State line on I40 now. 1:40pm 2-6-2015!!
Stopped at the Arizona Tourist Station, and loaded up with brochures of interesting places to visit. Planned out the rest of the days adventures, with a stop at the Petrified Forest National Monument, and made reservations with the Homolovi Ruins State Park. Petrified Forest National Forest/Pained Desert was a beautiful drive through. There was an old car on the section of Route 66. I took a photo of the car and you can see the depressions in the ground of were Route 66 was, and a string of old telephone poles still standing along the side where the old road was. We were told that at 5pm, we needed to exit the park. We were at the petrified bridge at 5pm, and a Ranger kindly reminded us it was time to leave. We arrived at Homolovi State Park at dark, second time we had to set up camp in the dark.

Petrified Forest National Park in the Painted Desert
With one of the world's largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood, multi-hued badlands of the Painted Desert, historic structures, archeological sites, and displays of over 200-million-year-old fossils, this is a surprising land of scenic wonders and fascinating science.
