After visiting the Grand Canyon, we were going to make our way to Oklahoma City to visit one of Scott\u2019s sisters. \u00a0On the way, we decided to stop at the Petrified forest and Painted Forest in Arizona. \u00a0It was a really neat park. \u00a0The main road went right through the park with lots of pullouts for viewpoints or short walks.<\/p>\n

On the way to the park we saw lots of sand tornados! \u00a0One was crossing the road in front of us and since it covered both lanes we had to drive through it. \u00a0It was a lot more powerful than I thought it would be. \u00a0Scott said it felt very weird driving through it.<\/p>\n

This \u201cbridge\u201d was a long petrified log. \u00a0They had to support it with concrete.<\/p>\n

These are some petroglyphs that were found on the rocks. \u00a0These pictures were taken through our monocular.<\/p>\n

A portion of the historic Route 66 went through the park. \u00a0They had an old Studebaker marking the spot.<\/p>\n

New meets old. \u00a0Haha<\/p>\n
