One for the small dogs 30 lbs and under and one for the big dogs 30 lbs and over. Ground is very clean and not one turd in sight! Mulch and sand on the ground. The most impressing thing though is the size of each side of the dog parks. The small dog park has room enough to get the zoomies. The big dog park though is humongous. You can stop by for 20 minutes and let your pup stretch their legs while you sit on a bench.

Their larger animals currently include elks, cougars, and wolves. It's small by typical zoo standards, but they only have a staff of 5 or 6 people. Entrance is free, but has places where you can make donations in the park if you want to help support the zoo. It's sizable enough to spend some time, and even has good spots with benches to sit and relax a bit. It's situated around these rock formations, locally called "haystacks", and has a round hogan and a round hogan, the traditional Navajo homes, on display.

13 years in Arizona, and we finally got the chance to visit Petrified Forest National Park!…read more We went during spring break -- it was sunny and definitely pretty hot, but honestly, it was perfect. The park is huge, stretching from one end to the other, with so many different spots to explore. You can easily cover the entire park in one day, along with a few short hikes, most of them around 2 mile or less. Our favorite parts were the Blue Mesa and the Painted Desert. The landscape was absolutely stunning the soil, the colors of the sand, and the layers of sediment made it feel so unique and surreal. We also loved the Long Logs Trail, where we got to see so much petrified wood up close. It's incredible how it glows in the sun! I've always been a big fan of petrified wood, and it was fascinating to see just how ancient it is, going all the way back to prehistoric times. We absolutely loved Petrified Forest National Park, and I can confidently say -- this is a must-visit in Arizona!

It might not get any of the recognition of its big sister the Grand Canyon, but it is beautiful nonetheless! I'll also take the quietness and much smaller crowds. The South Road gives you great views for the afternoons, and the North Road gives you great morning views as the sun comes up. Either way there are some great viewpoints that are very different on each road. There are plenty of trails at the Outlook points, but you can really just make your own trail by walking wherever you can and want as long as you are careful. I take my pups and in some areas actually let them loose because we are the only ones around and because I trust my pups to not fall off the edge.

This colorful Chinle Formation consists of a variety of sedimentary rocks on cliffs, hills, mesas and buttes. Its pretty colors is why it is called the Painted Desert. The Painted Desert stretches all the way to the east end of Grand Canyon National Park. There are some overlooks off the main road that allow you to see an overview of the area. There are also some hiking trails. The map at the overlook gives you information on far away many of points of interest are. Painted Desert Inn National Historic Landmark is nearby and has a lot of history to it. The original building from the early 1920's was made of petrified wood. Today it is a museum that showcases the history of the building, historic Route 66 that once passed through here and the Civilian Conservation Corps. The Painted Desert Visitor Center is also nearby with park rangers on hand for information.

It's easy, short, with 49 ft elevation gain. The trail is out and back and ends at Painted Desert Inn (From Tawa Point to Kachina Points). Painted Desert Inn was closed due to covid otherwise from peak through the window there's few exhibitions. The outside restroom was still open to public (and with heater inside!) The Painted Desert was so beautiful the day I went when it's dusted with snow. The trail could be muddy and icy at some point but did not find its dangerous:P The rich colors and the rock formation all will take your breath away. - Dog is allowed on the trail with a leash.
