Petrified Forest National Park

A few years ago I took Bode on our first holiday road trip to the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Zion National Park. I quickly realized the weeks between Christmas and New Years were THE best time to visit our National Park and so the tradition began. This year did not disappoint with our first stop at the Petrified Forest National Park. It was snowing and overcast most of the time making for some pretty blistery weather to be outside. But the clouds broke for a couple hours on our second day and we hustled to get on as many trails as we could with the temperature being more manageable at 33 degrees.
