Day 9: After cleaning up camp, Dana hiked to the Homolovi ruins. The neatest part was the pottery shards that littered the ground. Petrified Forest NP was our next destination. We marveled at the petrified wood at Big Logs and loved the multitude of color that could be found. We also hiked the Crystal Forest loop and saw some collared lizards running about. Newspaper Rock and the Painted Desert Inn were also awesome. Magnus became a Junior Ranger and took the oath. We visited the huge rock shop in Holbrook with all the petrified wood. Heading south, we went to Tonto Natural Bridge SP just before they closed. The formations there were pretty stunning. We finally arrived in Gilbert, AZ to stay with the Bates family.
