Here's a nice little tool for those who are traveling along Interstate 40 in northern Arizona.
Along this route is Petrified Forest National Park. It is probably one of the smallest national parks in the U.S., but that doesn't make it any less interesting to visit.
The nearest campgrounds to the park that would accommodate RVs are in the nearby town of Holbrook.
National Parks Traveler has posted a travelers checklist for visiting the park.
They start with:
Imagine walking along a trail scattered with sections of silicified logs splashed brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow, white, and purple. Imagine being surrounded by mesas of candy-striped blue, purple, and beige sediment layers. Imagine gazing out upon a red-, orange-, and yellow-painted badlands right next to an interstate highway. This fossil feast of color for the eyes is what you’ll see when you visit Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, located just off of Interstate 40. The Traveler’s Checklist can help you plan your trip and make the most of your time exploring the park.
