Popular Things To Do | Other Things To Do Tips | All Tips (9) Petrified trunks of trees are everywhere, you really don't have to look for them. So are the warnings that it is illegal to take even the smallest bit of wood as a souvenir. If you really want a small or larger piece, you can by it at the park's gift shop.
If you want goodlooking colourful pictures, remember to take some water with you. If you make the surface of the wood wet, it will really bring out the colour. If you don't plan to take pictures, bring water anyway, this place is hot! Leave a Comment Directions: North entrance , 26 mi East of Holbrook on US 66, I-40

It's not really right to put this under 'Hotel' as I didn't stay there.
I just passed through Holbrook on my way down Route 66 but the place is so unusual I just had to put it in here. Leave a Comment

The colours of these eroded hills are really alive. Shades of grey, blue, and yellow through orange change during the day, depending on the altitude and direction of the sun. Leave a Comment

Prior to the establishment of the interstate system, Route 66 ran from Santa Monica, California to Chicago, Illinois. After WWII, when Eisenhower saw the value of Germany's autobahn, he pushed for similar multi lane, divided highways in the US.
Route 66 ran down what is now Navajo Blvd in Holbrook, AZ. The street here is lined with signed embedded in the sidewalk, marking the route. There is also a Rt 66 historic marker in Petrified forest National Park, just north of Interstate-40. Leave a Comment

Just amazing, in Greece there is one with only 2 trees but here as far as you can see tree trunks and bit and pieces laying around. It is one of the most amazing things we've ever seen.
Just spend the day there driving around and at the end enjoy the Painted Dessert. Don't forget to look at the rockpaintings at Newspaper Rock. Leave a Comment Directions: If you are traveling across Arizona on Interstate 40 between the towns of Holbrook and Gallup you see the signs on the interstate, the best is if you drive from Holbrook then you start at the Forrest and end at the Painted DessertWebsite: http://www.nps.gov/pefo/index.htm

The Petrified Forest is about 30 miles down Interstate 40 from Holbrook. This National Park features petrified trees at the southern end, the middle has native American historical artifacts, and the north end of the park offers great views of the Painted Desert. Entrance is $20 per vehicle for a one-week period, and the park is just 28 miles long, so is easy to see in just part of a day. Leave a Comment
