Another Giant Hole: Utah Lots of Parks part 11

Day 12: I potentially bought a curse and later channeled my inner Jodie Foster.

We left Holbrook in the early morning and headed further down I-40/Route 66. Our plan was to drive south through Petrified Forest National Park and pick up hwy 180 on the other side and take that toward New Mexico.

Petrified Forest National Park has a large collection of 225-million-year-old petrified wood among badlands of eroded sedimentary rock. You also get views of the Painted Desert, the original Route 66 and thousand-year-old petroglyphs.

Ready to check out that old wood.
