Another new one for me! I hit up Petrified Forest National Park for the first time and decided to venture into the wilderness. I really like that this park has no trails and actually encourages wilderness hikers to explore wherever they want. I had marked a couple of spots on the map and connected the dots while just meandering from one scenic spot to another. The day started cloudy, which made the temperature pleasant, but the colors a little bit flat. Eventually the sun came out adding the contrast of blue sky to the landscape, but also a little bit of heat to the hike. I appreciated that no other visitors venture off the paved trail here. I was constantly in awe at the surreal, unearthly sights and geologic marvels around every corner.
