Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona | ????️ Geocaching | RV Travel Camping
????️ GeoCache Petrified Forest National Park | RV America
???? Video Description:
We decided to do something a bit different in Petrified Forest National Park as we explored it. Geocaching. The rangers at Petrified Forest National Park set coordinates to specific treasures that you can find as you explore and learn the history at Petrified Forest National Park.
You can download the Geocaching App (Geocaching) on either IOS or Android Smart devices. Based on your location, the app will provide you with pinpoints on a map of what geocaches you can search for close by. Within the app, when you click on the geocache, people will often leave comments and there is a clue given as to the location. What I liked about the app is that it uses GPS and adjusts your distance to and from the location of the cache as you walkabout in search of it.
We had a blast at the Petrified Forest National Park doing this. We visited in Late October 2019 and stayed a couple of days boondocking at the gift shop on the south exit of Petrified Forest National Park. To get to this location, you can either drive from the north end park entrance and through the park, or take the county road south from the old Route 66 charming town of Holbrook about 18 miles. If you need gas, you will have to get it in Holbrook.
The entrance to Petrified Forest National Park is very unassuming (as is the whole park). We found out there is so much more to the park than Petrified Wood. Just like Badlands National Park and Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the Dakotas, there are actual badlands in Petrified Forest National Park. Who Knew?! We were so surprise when one of the caches lead us to one of the best views away from the rest of the visitors.
The inn was beautiful, but the iconic cache for me was the location of the old vintage vehicle at the intersection of route 66 and the park. Although the cache was lost, we had a fun time searching,
On the south side of the park, you will see the petrified wood, but DO NOT miss out on Blue Mesa. Blue Mesa is a vast overlook of the south side and some of the most stunning features of the park. Several trails lead out into northeast Arizona wilderness.
We ended up of the history museum on the south side of the park before calling it a day. We were fascinated by the history of the area, once being covered by lakes, glaciers, and deep forest!! So many fascinating dinosaur exhibits as well.
Petrified Forest National Park is very unassuming and could be overlooked if passing by. We found it to be quite the opposite once we ventured inside. Thanks for adventuring with us!

This is What Makes Apache County, Arizona Surprisingly Wonderful
This is What Makes Apache County, Arizona Surprisingly Wonderful!
Find us on Facebook:
Read the post on our blog:
Apache County is located in the northeast corner of the state of Arizona. Founded in 1879, Apache was formed from one of the 4 original counties in Arizona. It was originally inhabited by Navajo and Apache tribes, Texas cattlemen, and New Mexico sheepherders.
Now the 27,733 square miles of Apache land is home to over 70,000 people, and still contains much untamed land and wildlife.
Northern Arizona is known for its great weather and natural beauty.
At an elevation of 6,500ft, expect low humidity, and over 270 days of sun. summer temperatures average around, 80°F, with dry desert heat. Winter here is colder than the rest of Arizona, with a January average temperature of 15°F, and 39 inches of snowfall!
The weather means great living conditions for people with arthritis and joint issues, or with allergies to pollen and plants found in other parts of the country. It’s also a sweet escape for snowbirds!
Aside from fantastic weather, Apache County offers a diverse landscape. High desert flat lands, mountainous terrain, and some of the most enviable views in the state. And Northeastern Arizona has some of the best stargazing in the USA, where a view of the Milky Way will take your breath away.
If you’re looking to move to Arizona, Apache County may be the perfect place for you. The cost of living here is 11% less than the U.S. average, and job growth is positive.
What keeps people here is the community. Officials take the sense and growth of community seriously, and make it a top priority.
Apache displays open-mindedness that transcends to property ownership. The county allows a multitude of activities and dwellings on your property. The options are quite flexible compared to other counties in the state and country.
When considering property uses, it’s always advisable to contact the Planning and Zoning commission department, to check less obvious rules like size restrictions per acre, and potential hazards. It’s also important to check the property zoning - you can learn more about this in our free eBook.
Any development or construction site in Apache County must have the following:
1. Building Permit
2. Zoning Certificate
3. Plan and Building Specifications
Legal hunting is allowed on all public State Trust lands and BLM lands, however, access to these lands is not always guaranteed. Permits and a legal hunting license are required for big game on public lands.
A popular local hunting and fishing destination is White Mountain. Where you can fish for Apache trout, brown cutthroat, rainbow trout, bass, and crappie. And hunt for elk, deer, antelope, javelin, bear, turkey, sheep, mountain lion, and water fowl!
Fishing is a year-round opportunity. Hunting seasons are scheduled by the Arizona Game & Fish Department.
Did you know that the Apache has the highest number of farms in the state of Arizona? An astounding 5,591 farms! Arizona contains some of the richest valleys in all of the USA.
Aside from hunting, fishing, and farming, some of the more common activities are: hiking, mountain biking, ATV/UTV riding, golfing, horseback riding, skiing, and community events.
A nearby natural phenomenon includes Petrified Forest National Park. In it’s south, Rainbow Forest is full of colourful petrified wood.
In the park, you can backpack your way into Red Basin and Martha’s Butte - areas only just recently opened to the public! Devil’s Playground is another popular backcountry hike, not for the faint of heart!
Monument Valley is a popular red-sand desert region on the Arizona-Utah border, in the north of Apache County. It may be the most enduring image of the American West. Get out and enjoy the Valley Drive, a 17-mile dirt road running amidst the cliffs and mesas.
And be sure to explore the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. One of the biggest attractions of this area is Big Lake. Camp at Big Lake Recreation Area to get away from busy and enjoy some simple living.
Other popular areas include Blue Range Primitive Area, Escudilla Wilderness, Bear Wallow Wilderness, and Fool Hollow Lake recreation and campground.
Apache County has a rich history, with roots stretching back to the days of the wild west.
Apache is perfect for those looking to relocate to Arizona, plan an unforgettable vacation, or who want to explore outside city life and take on exciting nature adventures.

SUMMARY
=======
Arizona ( (listen); Navajo: Hoozdo Hahoodzo Navajo pronunciation: [xòːztò xɑ̀xòːtsò]; O'odham: Alĭ ṣonak Uto-Aztecan pronunciation: [ˡaɺi ˡʂonak]) is a U.S. state in the southwestern region of the United States. It is also part of the Western and the Mountain states. It is the sixth largest and the 14th most populous of the 50 states. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix. Arizona, one of the Four Corners states, is bordered by New Mexico to the east, Utah to the north, Nevada and California to the west, and Mexico to the south, as well as the southwestern corner of Colorado. Arizona's border with Mexico is 389 miles (626 km) long, on the northern border of the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912, coinciding with Valentine's Day. Historically part of the territory of Alta California in New Spain, it became part of independent Mexico in 1821. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with very hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees; the Colorado Plateau; some mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Mountains); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff, Alpine, and Tucson. In addition to the Grand Canyon National Park, there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments.
About one-quarter of the state is made up of Indian reservations that serve as the home of 27 federally recognized Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation, the largest in the state and the United States, with more than 300,000 citizens. Although federal law gave all Native Americans the right to vote in 1924, Arizona excluded those living on reservations in the state from voting until the state Supreme Court ruled in favor of Native American plaintiffs in Trujillo v. Garley (1948).
