Road Trip Day 11

We went to Petroglyph National Monument in the morning, which was really nice.  We hiked a few short trails and saw lots of petroglyphs, it was cold and window but sunny and it was nice getting some fresh air and hiking in.  We ate lunch at the Chama River Brewing Company which had a good scottish ale and tasty sweet potato fries. We hit the road headed towards Flagstaff, but stopped at about 4pm at Petrified Forest National Park, which was beautiful, though we didn't have much time there.  The painted desert was amazing.  We hiked a short trail around the edge looking out over it, it was so beautiful!  We drove through the park and saw old pueblo ruins, cone-shaped rock formations and petrified wood littering the desert floor.  We were rushed a bit though, due to the park closing at 6.  We pulled into Flagstaff at 7:45 and got a hotel and ordered pizza and watched the Incredibles, which Dave had never seen but he really liked it :)  It was a good day yesterday, we saw a lot of cool things and got some nice hiking in.  On to the grand canyon!
