89. Homolovi State Park. Located a short distance east of Winslow, Homovoli State Park features the remains of a 14th-century village, a place where the ancestors of the Hopi lived. “Homolovi” is Hopi for “Place of the Little Hills,” the traditional name for Winslow. Visitors can hike, camp and learn more about the culture of the area through exhibits at the visitor center. www.azstateparks.com/homolovi.
Petrified Forest National Park was one of the first places in the country to earn protection as a national monument, and for good reason. The petrified wood that fills the park is beautifully formed with orange, red, white and purple hues. The wood is no longer wood, but a mineral called silica, turned to quartz—which replaced the wood fiber. Impurities give the silica its broad and vibrant range of colors.
