Painted Desert and Petrified Forest
The Petrified Forest is so unique with its collection of fossils from over 200 million years ago including plants, animals, and giant reptiles. Scientists still work the Petrified Forest searching for clues into our past. The Painted Desert is a long stretch of land that covers 93,500 acres. The colors of the Painted Desert are a treat for the eyes. Colors range from lavenders and grays infused with vibrant reds, oranges, and pinks. The real treat is how the colors change with the time of day.
Tuzigoot National Monument
This monument is atop a desert hill and was a trading post 1,000 thousand years ago for the Sinagua people. The striking abode structure consisted of 110 rooms with second and third stories. This ancient ruin was centrally located for agricultural trade connections that stretched out for hundreds of miles.
Wupatki National Monument
Wupatki Pueblo was the largest pueblo structure around during the 1200s. It was a place that many different Southwest cultures met. After the volcano erupted, the ashes helped the soil return moisture and retain nutrients for plant life. After the soil wore out, the people moved on leaving this beautiful pueblo structure behind.
Sunset Crater
Sunset Crater was formed by a volcano between 1040 and 1100. This powerful volcanic explosion disrupted life in the area dramatically. Today, Sunset Crater looks remarkable like it did after the volcano settled down with lava flows and cinders. The difference is that you will find trees, wildflowers, and wildlife throughout the crater. This national park offers a great number of artifacts and geological exhibits to look through.
