I drove through the park more than a decade ago. Two things I can still remember. One is the white clay dunes/painted desert and the other is a Navajo lady chef in the cafeteria. She stayed just a little late to make sandwiches for two hungry tourists.

[@debbietharp129]

Thanks for taking us along with you. I love seeing parts of the country I would otherwise never see.

[@lindamerchant4431]

Anything with historical route 66 is Great ♥️

[@richardl.7390]

WONDERFUL VIDEO !! I think you just saved me a trip West this summer ... lol ! When I was visiting Petrified Forest in 2019, a tourist was wondering aloud "what kind of chainsaws the Park Rangers were using to cut those hard stony logs" ... Those trees fell 180 million years ago and were buried very rapidly. The minerals in the soil seeped inside the wooden cells and turned them to stone but the shape of the original trees remained. Erosion then revealed them relatively recently for us to see. Now, to the White Mountains and fresh air ! RICHARD

[@robertross2596]

Hey Richard, that story reminds me of a similar story it the book 'Hey Ranger." It tells of a woman looking into the Grand Canyon & remarking to a Ranger, "It's neat they put this canyon so close to the road!"

[@bradley-sky-watcherlynn2612]

When you look at all the beauty, just remember who created all of it.. the Greatest Artist of them all.. The Mighty God 😇🙏. Very nice videos, thank you 🙏

[@outdoorztime2923]

Amen.

[@trishschaefer8504]

Wow...thank you so much for this Route 66 journey...I would never get to see it, if not for you!!

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Thank you Russ for your great video of the Petrified Forest and a painted Desert! I probably won’t see it in person so thank you so much for filming it!❤️😀🇺🇸

[@johnmckenna8989]

Another great video,.....At about 7:25 he rolls through a stop sign and then says, "There's one stop I've never made" ....hilarious....(see, I watch everything and miss nothing) ....I asked my son if I could watch your videos on his new 70" TV, we're working on it!.........

[@birdman5223]

Good stuff MrRuss👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lindamartin2045]

Beautiful!😳🤗🎶👍👍. Petrified bridge is really cool. Thank you. Take care.

[@jesscarey7666]

Very cool 😎

[@lindabradford9591]

The sad thing when you fly, you miss all the sites America has to offer. We went to the Petrified Forest. We stopped and saw the old car, drove through the Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, Meteor site, Grand Canyon, Valley of Fire, Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam and Lake Meade on our week stay out west. We had a nice time and a ton of pictures while stopping at all the various sites.

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY! Thank you o much for taking us along for the buggy ride.

[@SherryAustinMcginley]

Great to see the Petrified Forest!

[@martyrose]

🙋‍♀️Hi Russ! Thanks for the tour!

[@henrywardell4635]

Happy Trails - United States America - Russ - RVerTV Fans. RVerTV - Too Cool 4 School. Thank you Russ.

[@HOBOTECH]

There's free boondocking at the gift shop. I stayed the night there several years ago on my way through the park.

[@jamesscott1932]

Gift shop is now $25 with electricity.

[@HOBOTECH]

@@jamesscott1932 No free camping? That's lame.

[@richardduke9788]

Thanks for the ride along !

[@yawndave]

Great to drive through the park with you today Russ. As a photographer I wish they would open earlier so you could take pictures before the colors wash out. My favorite trail there is Crystal Forest--I think it has the most big logs to see. The Rainbow Forest Lodge at the southern end used to have an old-time soda fountain---I had one of the best chocolate malts in my life there on a hot afternoon. See ya down the road...happy trails!

[@charlesyell6318]

Thanks again for taking me along on another trip I would love to se again in person. Of all the different videos I watch , your are the best.

[@shellyscott4822]

My parents took us there driving route 66 to see the painted desert the petrified Forest and the Big trees but I appreciate it a lot more of my age now LOL so thanks for the memories

[@pattylaverentz22]

Thank you for the tour.. Loved it !!! Stay cool !!!!!!

[@gregprince2523]

Just a great ride along Russ!

[@j-marie4006]

Very cool place.

[@davidellison6571]

Thanks Russ! Last time I was there is when my family moved to AZ. 1958. Gotta go back soon!

[@larrylabair5996]

When I was in 5th grade my grand parents in 1959 moved from Michigan to Calif and we traveled on route 66 and i can remember going thru there we stayed in the old motels along 66 it was so much fun for a kid

[@BettyBearsNomadicTravels]

Yes, thank you my friend. There are so many parts to this beautiful country most of us will never see. Stay safe and see you on the next one. Betty Bear

[@dennishough3709]

Haven’t been to Show Low in years. Looking forward to it. Thanks Russ,

[@juliebradford2999]

Thanks for Sharing! Beautiful place!

[@gregprince2523]

Good gawd Russ what a beautiful place!!! The sky is just to blue and the sage brush brings back memories!!!

[@skyebird3933]

Thank you for filming all the neat stops and gorgeous scenery for us to see. 😊

[@charleshicks3492]

Great tour; been a long time;😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

[@zenoslayer9618]

In 1961 coming back from Japan driving from San Francisco to Atlanta my family drove rt 66 and stopped at the petrified forest not much there then but logs

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Thanks again The tour inside the visitors center looked really great; idea of vegetation way back when.

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Great video Russ! Thanks for letting us tag along. I remember back in the 60's people used to stop and pick up a bunch of the petrified wood there along side of the road there. A big NO NO back then. You would probably get a huge fine today if they caught you doing that. I don't know if they still do it, but they used to check people's trunks for petrified wood.

[@wetcanoedogs]

i was there a few years ago and it looked like people had taken a hammer to all the good stuff since the 1930's and it was all just stubs and busted stuff.

[@jaysantos536]

"check people's trunks for petrified wood." Nope because less than 5% of drivers on I-40 BOTHER to drive through the park and those are the ones that CARE enough not to mess with nature. In the 60s EVERY car drove through there so all the ne'er do wells would steal whatever they could.

[@yvonnemiranda2918]

Very nice video..stay cool Russ 😎

[@macalvarezLA]

Love it. Thank you. Sadly when I passed by there in March, it was dark.

[@flormaldonado8418]

Absolutely love your videos very informative

[@nancycain4434]

That is a fantastic area,Arizona is an amazing state .Thanks for sharing your experiences. Safe travels Russ.

[@larryjohnson6398]

Great video hopes do these things soon get done with all the doctors thanks for letting us tag along it's always fun enjoy and be safe

[@nadinemacv1848]

Wonderful video. It's great travelling with you. Thank you !

[@MountainFisher]

I remember when that was all a national monument and nothing to stop people from taking the petrified wood except signs telling you not to.

[@robertjean659]

Beautiful area around there, didn’t realise it was so close to I40. Thanks for the drive today, Russ. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! "CHECK" Your "POCKETS" Before you "LEAVE"!!! Be Safe!!!

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Awesome scenery Russ.

[@nimou777]

Thanks for the Tour Brother!👍✌️🙏

[@VictorPerez-uc5nj]

Russ, this was a great video. My wife and I enjoy your video's, and these areas are on our bucket list. So informative and so much history!! Keep on bringing these video's. Safe travels. Victor & Michele

[@Route66BothLanes]

Isn't it amazing all the places to stop, and like you said we often drive past many of them. There's just so much to look at while trying to keep some sort of schedule.

[@autumnskyes5633]

Boy am I behind in my videos! I've always wanted to visit the Petrified Woods. I had to settle for the deposits in an area in the White Mountains. 😆 See when people remark on how an area looks like a painting to me makes me think how lucky we are to have artists so talented that they can replicate such beautiful places such as this. Thanks for the video and hope you're well out there.

[@fountainhillschamber]

So beautiful up there!

[@jimbergen5232]

Been there two times, learned so many new things watching this ( i.e. Route 66 and the pull outs ), thank you Russ :) Was actually there the day ( C 1986 ) they changed the pamphlets explaining how the trees got there. All of your local trips have been Great !!!!!

[@markshaw7947]

Good video Russ like usual. We spent a month on I-40 one day. Thanks for all the effort and for sharing.

[@johnmckenna8989]

...That's a long time to be broken down at the side of the road.......You should have AAA....They'll have you back on the road in no time at all.....How did you squeeze a month into one day ? ....

[@DW-qe7qe]

Great video Russ. Enjoyed that one very much. Thank you

[@CT-qy4gt]

Thanks Russ! Nice little museum tour and wow the forest is so unique very cool Thanks for sharing!

[@susanstrickland6774]

Really is beautiful. Neat to see the different layers so easily. Like how they have the big pull offs with plenty of parking. Nice museum. Great that it's open early, since it warms up fast. 🙂👍

[@i70show]

[@quilterc4263]

I've been watching and enjoying your videos for a little while now, and today I subscribed. That's a big deal for me, I rarely subscribe to anything!

[@dorisbuchmann4164]

Thanks, so much for that tour! Learned something new once again, so interesting, and good useful information! Your efforts are much appreciated!

[@robhebbs7960]

When i drove through Holbrook there was tons of petrified wood all over that town. For sale.

[@carlarowland1813]

I was there a couple of weeks ago and I have never seen anything like it before.

[@evelynwiegel1838]

Russ, you walked right past the lizard on the top corner of the sign as you first walked toward the building. It was up with the birds too.

[@carlarowland1813]

Berry pretty

[@tc9992]

Great vid again Russ! Plannin on a Harley ride through that beautiful part of AZ this Fall !

[@Danny.Spurling]

Great video Russ

[@tommanion5504]

Back in '67, while on family vacation, we toured north eastern Arizona. While on the Navajo res, we had collected some real pretty rocks. A day or so later, we visited the park. Guess he was worried about the "under penalty of law" signs at the entrance, Dad told the ranger about our rocks, and where we found them. He told us that they were, indeed, petrified wood. He then put them into a paper sack, folded the top down and stapled it closed with a business card. On the card, he wrote "not collected in park". He then told us (mainly to us kids) to not open the bag until after we left the park! Side note - am I the only one that noticed the lizard sunning itself on the signboard at 3:56?

[@robertross2596]

Well, this is now the 2nd of your videos I've watched since discovering your site just yesterday. Another good one! I've been to the Petrified Desert/Painted desert twice, once in the early 1980s & another time in the 1990's. The 1st time was on a road trip from Pennsylvania and then a fly rent-a-car deal. One memory that burned into my brain was the drive from New Mexico into Arizona; it seemed like driving from one scrub brush planet into a Mars-like red rock planet! On my 2nd trip, my life long friend & hiking and travel buddy found out the hard way not to pocket pebbles! Needless to say, he got busted & fined by the NP rangers. When the rangers asked me if I picked up anything I said "No, it's bad luck." They didn't bother to check me; I suppose they had glasses on us. I said after to my friend, "didn't you see the signs?" He shugged & said he thought it meant large chunks of petrified wood..haha. Anyway, another good video & I intend to gradually catch up with your older ones. Good stuff!

[@saddlebum]

Very nice, love the videos,,

[@bonniekaye]

Awesome video! 🙂👍

[@alejack12001]

The petrified forest was a place that was spoken about while in high school or if you took science classes in college. However, I never knew where it was located; now, I know thanks to your visit. The tree that fell across the gorge was impressive with the support of a concrete base and posts. I’d like to have seen how that was fabricated since the surrounding area was pretty rocky. Too bad that people had to take souvenirs, of the petrified wood from the park. That seems to be general trend. Thanks Russ, enjoyed this visit.

[@gloriataruc8371]

We missed it two weeks ago! We went to Grand Canyon then four corners then monument valley! We’re going to try to go end of June!

[@ithacacomments4811]

When I was 18, my dad took our family of eight on a camping trip from New York State to California and back. Of course, being kids, we started to collect rocks wherever we stopped. The station wagon was taking on weight and the gas mileage was going down. Finally, dad stopped and insisted that our rocks be left behind.....sniff.

[@jamesscott1932]

Keep beating the bushes! I’m out in the high rent district of $25/night at the gift shop. Everyone else is free camping at the Museum.

[@jr2no160]

Arrive "before the Bird's get up." Okay, got it 👍🏿😊

[@johneason6540]

Hi Always fantastic videos. Today, I live in Marana AZ 110f here today, yes AZ is hot, hahaha 😆

[@1956curtis]

You mentioned going to Sho Lo. Can you show some information about White Apache Reservation ? A friend of mine hunts Elk there almost every September.

[@RobertSmith-cp6vl]

If you have time could you tour the movie town of mescal i think it’s close to Wilcox I really enjoy going on these trips with you thanks Robert of Delaware

[@G34RH34D]

A little town called Snowflake in the middle of the desert. Can't get better than that.

[@babbalonian2]

13:01 looks like Lake Mead ,,,now. Even has the bath tub rings .

[@robinstewart6510]

🤣 People have been taking remnants from the Petrified Forest for so long, it's a wonder there's anything left. My mother took several football-size pieces back in the late 50's, when I was just a little kid. I believe she still has them on display in her living room, along with other things she took from various national parks.

[@Mooseman-fg4nv]

Beautiful drive Russ! In all your desert travels do you ever encounter any Rattlesnakes...?

[@glennscotti8891]

Last time I was there last year we were walking the trail around the petrified wood and could hear a snakes rattle off in the distance.

[@MatthewAronoff]

I been it is nice

[@stormjacobs5497]

I just discovered your channel. I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos, the delivery, beautiful scenery etc... I have been binge watching, got my husband "hooked" on them too. Happy Travels.⛽🚐

The first building outed like a Chi Chi's ....😆😀😄
