Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
Visitors can take a ranger-led 8.5-mile roundtrip hike over Red Basin, "a fossil-rich area part of the land within the 2004 boundary expansion of Petrified Forest National Park. Along this hike you will see petrified wood, petroglyphs, unique erosional formations such as hoodoos, vibrantly colored badlands deposited over 215 million years ago, and fossil clam beds."
Quite a few units of the National Park System have a "Painted" something-or-other. In Petrified Forest National Park, it's the Painted Desert, with saturated desert colors of orange, red, rust, pink and beige. This Painted Desert can be accessed just off of Interstate 40 through Arizona.
Hot summers mean monsoon rains hovering over the landscape to create moody compositions for your camera.
