Painted Desert and Petrified Forest

Along the way to LA, you pass through the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest so we stopped and took the tour.

Old Route 66 passes through the Painted Desert and they have a place commemorating it.

Then onto the Petrified Forest side. These are petroglyphs that are abundant in the park.

Some petrified wood.

I tried to get mom to lay up on the hood of the car, but she said it was too hot! I don't know if she meant the hood of the car or the pose would have been too hot!
