Activity itinerary

Painted Desert Visitor Center
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
Stop at the visitor centre for a quick bathroom break! These flush toilets are the cleanest you'll find until the Rainbow Forest Museum on the other end of the park.
Kachina Point
  • 30m
The expanse of the Painted Desert is plainly viewable from the overlook, easily accessible behind the Painted Desert Inn via a short path from the car park.
Puerco Pueblo
  • 15m
This is a small, vault toilet by the car park.
The Tepees
  • 15m
These conical hills, banded with several shades of mudstones, are said to resemble Tepees. There are two pull-offs on the side of Petrified Forest Rd to park the car and get a good view--the North Pullout and the South Pullout, which is also the trailhead for the "Off the Beaten Path" Blue Forest Trail.
Blue Mesa
  • 15m
The Blue Mesa is one of the most beautiful parts of the park, with more opportunities to discover the strange, eroded badlands. Atop the Blue Mesa, the road splits and becomes a one-way loop. Stop at the first pull-offs for a glimpse of the badlands, and the first petrified wood deposit you see coming from the north.
Agate Bridge
  • 15m
This 100-ft long petrified log sits on top of a small chasm, forming a bridge. When the park opened, visitors could stand on top of it! Today, the log is off-limits and supported by concrete, but this is a quick, easy stop for an impressively long piece of petrified wood.
Jasper Forest
  • 15m
An overlook sits over a desert plain with a dense petrified wood deposit below. Want a closer look? Another ‘off the beaten track’ trail leads from the right of the car park down to the deposit following a well-worn path to the wash. Then it’s just you and the petrified wood–a truly astonishing and bizarre landscape.
Crystal Forest Trail
  • 15m
This 0.75-mile hike makes a loop through one of the park's major petrified wood deposits. The paved trail and mostly flat topography make for an easy hike, and one accessible for those with wheelchairs or strollers.
Rainbow Forest Museum
  • 1h
If you only visit one visitor centre in the national park, make it this one! In addition to the typical orientation video, gift shop, bathrooms, and information desk, you'll find exhibits on the area's palaeontology including fossils found in the park. Behind the building is the 0.4-mile Giant Logs trail, which passes some of the largest pieces of petrified wood in the park.
