This serene desert landscape will give you the solitude and desert vibes you are looking for! It is a great stop over if you are cruising to NM, or if you are exploring Northern AZ.

Petrified Forest National Park is only 16 miles away! This expansive park covers 230 square miles of Arizona desert, extending into the badlands and the Painted Desert. The Petrified Forest is famous for its fossilized trees, which fell about 225 million years ago. There's also spectacular colored rocks, a result of the Chinle Formation. Hike, sightsee and photograph your way through this unique landscape of grandiose geology.
Hiking and backpacking abound but beware of the region's high altitude and dry, windy climate. For some of the best backcountry trails in the country, head to Red Basin or Martha's Butte. Grab a backcountry permit and wander at will. If you're new to the hiking game, book a guided hike and let the experts lead you to the best vistas around. Backcountry camping within the park itself is your best bet for lodging, but if all that open space sounds a little, dare we say...petrifying, nearby private campgrounds are available. There's also good camping in Canyon de Chelly National Monument and El Morro National Monument.
