We hope to be able to stop here on our way back to Nevada this spring. Nice video. There's so many National Park units in the Four Corners area it's a bit overwhelming. We'd never heard of half the places you guys find. And Justin Scarred, one of our favorite RUclipsrs, just visited Chaco Canyon in NM. Had no idea that place even existed.
Yup, we have heard of Chaco Canyon. It is not one of the National Park Units, it is managed by BLM so technically not part of the 419 units, BUT we have heard it's beautiful and want to see it as well.
Nice video! Can you guys show a little bit more on where you camp at when visiting these places? A little campsite info would be great. And the forest is afraid of rock hounds!
Thanks for the feedback, will try to include more campground info in the videos but pretty much always the corresponding blog posts mentions all the details where we stayed etc. www.adventurousway.com/blog/petrified-forest-national-park
Yup, I thought only Badlands NP has badlands. But it turns out badlands is a general term that describes a dry landscape where soft sedimentary rock and clay-soil has been eroded.
I love all the information in your videos! I'd never heard of Harvey Girls, before. :) Edited to add: I like visiting National Sites like this to learn about this kind of information, so I like that it feels like you brought me along on your trip. :)
We stayed at Sun Valley RV Resort - nothing special (definitely would NOT call it a resort), just one of the closest to the entrance. We usually include that info in the accompanying blog post: www.adventurousway.com/blog/petrified-forest-national-park
Super high quality video, wow 😃 love the information, style, and presentation. I’m taking a trip to AZ in a few weeks and now I really need to fit Petrified Forest into my plans 😬
@@AdventurousWay It seems like you guys really took your took your time at the park but I think I might only have like 2-3 hours time sadly 😐 do you think I can get a good experience with that amount of time?
We were there in May and indeed there weren't that many people there, barely anyone on the back country trails. Summer is the busiest, shoulder seasons (spring and fall) are usually the best bet to avoid crowds.
Great video....hope you get to every Park Service unit!
Thee variation of colors is amazing!
It indeed is! Both in the landscape and in the petrified wood.

I am so excited to visit this park. It is absolutely beautiful.
You will love it!
Another wonderful video! Thank you for the great tour.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Hahaha, loved the pun!!
Thank you!! :)
That place is so cool. I can't wait to go there one day ! Thanks for sharing
I hope you are able to visit some day!
I really enjoy your videos. Can't wait to meet up again down the road.
Same here, I hope our paths cross soon!
I loved learning how the petrified rocks came to be, thank you for another fascinating video!
Thanks Daan :)

@scott weatherby - ha ha! I couldn't think what the forest was petrified of besides rocks, but yours is better.
Been there a few times but didn't know you can hike trailse. Duh. Next time. Thanks and happy birthday. Mine is next week.
Happy birthday, Richard! Yup, that's one of the things we mean by wanting to really explore the parks - finding the non-obvious things to do.
Badlands sounds something from Badlands NP
Edit: great explanation of the formation of the petrified forest

Love the video. The petrified wood info I found very interesting
I'm glad you did!

Yay, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
😂 What is the forest petrified of? Lol. Thanks for the preview, we will be there in April. Where did you camp in the area?

Matt 😂😂😂 I pray to God that doesn't make the cut. Nice Job Dianna! I wish I had a witty comeback.
:D

Thank you! Yes, Petrified Forest is definitely worth a stop!

@@matthewgodwin4626 Definitely! Do the scenic drive through like we did the first day and stop at only one or two places.
This was a beautiful and very dry backpack when I did it. We were only the 4th group to request backcountry permits in September.... not many takers.
Looks deserted there! Many visitors? Such beautiful rocks. When is a good time to visit?

I think the Petrified Forest is afraid that too many people will find out about it and it will get too crowded. 😉
:)
What a cute accent
Thank you!
It's not a National Park but when you ever go through the Texas Panhandle you should check out Palo Duro Canyon.
Yup, that's already on our list to visit as it has been recommended by multiple people.
Nice Russian accent Diana
It's actually a Latvian accent.
Would like to know the punchline to the joke in the end!
haha, there isn't, it's just a pun ;)
Not chainsaws.
