Petrified Forest National Park
We visited Petrified Forest NP in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. Just off the interstate between Santa Fe and Flagstaff lies Petrified Forest National Park. We drove through, Airstream in tow, stopping for a few run-hikes WITH Bugsy! Petrified Forest NP allows dogs on trails! The colors in the chunks of petrified…
