The Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert are basically in the same park. You enter one from the south and one from the north. Both Visitor Centers are worth a stop, though the one at the southern end is better because they have a short trail where you can see petrified logs up close.
The Painted Desert was crazy spectacular! I'm really happy I visited. The colors were amazing; blues, purples, pinks, tans, just like someone took a paintbrush to the hills. Beautiful.
There was a fellow with camels there - he was busy talking to a lady so I didn't stay to find out what his deal was, but the camels seemed to feel right at home ther ein the desert.
After a wonderful day exploring here,
I got back on the Highway and headed to Gallup, New Mexico.
