you have one hour:Stop at the Painted Desert Visitor CenterDrive through the park (28 miles)Stop at Kachina PointDrive Blue Mesa RoadIf Stop at Rainbow Forest MuseumBicycles are a great way to travel through Petrified Forest National Park. The 28 mile park road and 3.5 mile loop around Blue Mesa offer scenic vistas without large changes in elevation. The park roads are relatively narrow, but long, straight passing areas allow motorized vehicles to pass bicyclists safely.

With one of the world's largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood, multi-hued badlands of the Painted Desert, historic structures, archeological sites, and displays of over 200-million-year-old fossils, this is a surprising land of scenic wonders and fascinating science
