It is one of the few places where you can see pieces of petrified wood strewn across the desert floor. It is like taking a step back in time. The Painted Desert has been photographed many times. As you look at the colors bouncing off the rock, you will blink. It is hard to imagine that it is real.
Window Rock is another special spot.
Legend has it that a snake created the hole in the red sandstone rock. This hole looks as if it is a window to the other side. The town located nearby is named after this formation. Sunrise Park Ski Resort is a popular area for outdoor recreation. The resort has a variety of ski trails to meet the ability level of any skier.
