My fascination for Navajo & Hopi history & culture began in the 70s, so I had to stop.

There are a couple of listings for this shop so make sure to go to 357 Navajo Blvd. When we arrived the shop was closed but a note on the door instructed 'potential customers' to call. The owner Leo arrived in 5 minutes as promised and greeted us warmly. Inside there are three jewelry cases filled to the brim with copper, silver, and turquoise jewelry. You can find Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni handmade jewelry, ceramics, and textile pieces at Nakai's. This was the only trading post we stopped in Holbrook and is certainly worth a visit. Leo is knowledgeable about his trade and was happy to explain the differences in turquoise to me, producing the map you can see in my photos. He was patient in helping me select a pair of earrings and checking out rings in my size. Be sure to visit Nakai's and it's reasonably priced wares.

I remember visiting this place as a kid and thinking it was pretty cool, so I figured it should be on our To Do list while here. This place is pretty decently-sized, so you could probably spend an hour in here if you were thorough. The first floor has the good stuff: antique furniture, old quilts and window panes, old medicine bottles...the list goes on and on. The second floor has some "ok" stuff, but it's what I'd classify more as junk: old books, VHS tapes, etc. It just depends what you're looking for. The people that work here are pretty friendly, and most items seem to be reasonably priced. We purchased a coffee table that was originally $200 and marked down to $50. I plan to sand it and will either stain or paint it. We didn't have the ability to transport it at the time of purchase, so they held it for us and we picked it up a couple days later. If you're looking for antiques, check out the first floor. They also sell a variety of whole bean coffees, so be sure to grab a bag if you're in need of a caffeine fix!

Highly recommend getting your girlfriends together & taking the Glitter 101.... Mothers / daughters, families, even the guys! I thought we were just going to make one glitter card, but Barbara taught us a bunch of things and showed us how we could apply what we learned on other media.

Crystal Forest is not only a private gift shop NOT associated with the National Park, but they also a campground. Check this out if you are traveling with an RV or tent because Petrified and Painted Desert do not allow camping to my knowledge. The museum is near the RV parking area. A separate, larger gift shop is on the other side of the National Park entrance. I'm a fan of this shop because they sell a variety of petrified wood that you are not allowed to take from the parks. "Then how do they get the petrified wood?" My oldest asked me. I did not inquire about this with staff members. It was so dark and I knew I would be soon approaching winter storms, so I wanted to get back on the road. Restrooms were available.

This private gift shop is not part of the national park and is located outside the south entrance. They have a really nice collection of colorful petrified wood here. It is illegal to take petrified wood from the park, so this place is a great option to purchase some. Next to the gift shop is a campground with approximately 20 spots. Most sites have sheltered picnic tables. You can camp with an RV, tent or sleep in one of their teepees. Just check with the gift shop for availability. There is no camping inside Petrified Forest National Park, so this is your best option.
