Blue Mesa Backcountry Trail Petrified Forest National Park Arizona May 2022 We took a backcountry trail starting at the Tepees area of the park. We followed an old park road and then up into and through Chinle Formation (225 million-year-old colorful sediment). The trail will take you into the Blue Mesa area. Beautiful scenery and we had the trail to ourselves. See more of my Petrified Forest National Park photography here. |
