  3. Painted Desert Inn

  4. Pintado Point

    Trecere fără oprire

    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?

  5. Oprirea 5

    Trecere fără oprire

    “Nizhoni” means beautiful in Navajo, a name that describes the first overlook perfectly.

  6. Blue Mesa

    2 ore

    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.

  11. Agate Bridge

    Trecere fără oprire

    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.

  12. Jasper Forest

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