Hiking trail Chambers, Arizona, United States

What to expect

The Blue Forest Trail is a 2.4-mile out-and-back trail that takes you through the colorful badlands country of Petrified Forest National Park. The trail offers spectacular views, a bit of history, and an intimate look at petrified wood as it's being exposed. It's a great trail for those looking to escape the crowds and experience the essence of the park. The trail can be challenging, with narrow paths, loose gravel, and steep sections, so it's recommended to wear sturdy shoes and bring walking poles. The trail is suitable for families, but parents should be aware of the potential hazards and take necessary precautions to ensure their children's safety
