What To Expect

Painted Desert Inn

You’ll have the opportunity to see the Painted Desert Inn. This abandoned hotel dates back to the early 1900s and offers a fascinating glimpse into early tourism in the region.

Pintado Point

Pintado Point is coming up in just a moment. As the highest overlook in the park, it offers a 360-degree view of the Painted Desert badlands. But how exactly did these badlands form?

Lacey Point

Lacey Point is just ahead, named after Iowa Congressman John Lacey. Lacey spent his congress years working tirelessly to protect plants and wildlife.

Blue Mesa

10-minute detour to the Blue Mesa Trail. The views that color this easy 1-mile loop trail make it a hugely popular stop for most visitors. The trail itself takes about 25 minutes.

Agate Bridge

The “bridge” in question here is actually a 110-foot-long petrified log spanning a gully! With each end firmly embedded in sandstone, this petrified log forms a sturdy natural bridge.

Jasper Forest

Jasper Forest, an incredible garden of petrified wood. The logs aren’t actually jasper, but they do look like it!

Rainbow Forest Museum

Once the heart of the Petrified Forest National Monument, the Rainbow Forest Museum acts as one of the earliest facilities.

Very helpful and informative. We stopped places we would not have if it weren’t for the guide! Places that don’t appear to be of interest respectfully are!
