Fantastic time searching for pieces of petrified wood! Aerial was so friendly and helpful in our quest for treasures. We were the only customers there. In about two hours, we were lucky enough to find a couple of big pieces and many small pieces. Prices can’t be beat! Call the number on the card in our picture. Trip Advisor has the incorrect phone number listed. 1 1/2 miles from the south/east entrance to Petrified Forest National Park. We will come again the next time we’re in the area!

Very beautiful, well organized and an amazing collection of ALL things natural (fossils, rocks, gems, wood etc...). The owner even has his own personal collection in the store which is awe inspiring. The prices are pretty good ~ although the most expensive things like slabs and tables are what you really want to bring home with you on the plane!

The courthouse, built in the late 1800s,has been turned into a remarkable museum of life over the past 100+ years in Navajo County. Every room from the original jail in the lower level through the judge's chambers and courtroom at the top, illustrates real life here using both original artifacts and a few reproductions. Room settings are realistic and include a schoolroom kitchen, sewing room, and others. There is even a full chuck wagon and a horse and rider from the pony express. They of course, are reproductions! You can buy souvenirs, books, and small pieces of petrified wood at low cost. And, believe it or not, there is no charge at all for entry. The person at the information desk was delightful, and we started our visit to the petrified forest on a high note, thanks to her.

We made a quick stop in late March driving from Gallup on our way to Phoenix. We arrived at the north east entrance around 9 am. There were only a couple of cars at the visitor center. The visitor center was opened with social distancing practice in place. We went in and spoke with the park ranger for recommendations on how to visit the park with very limited time. We drove the whole distance stopping at two of the painted desert pullouts, the Blue Mesa overlook (included a short walk down part of the trail), Newspaper Rock (can bypass), Crystal Forest Trail, and Giant Logs loop. We took 2.5 hrs to complete our visit and exit the park without feeling rushed. We were thrilled to see so many large petrified logs up close and personal.
