Things to see and do Arizona

This massive grey rocky outcrop stands far away from the panoramic road of the park and other rocks. High of 475 metres, it is a volcanic formation of original. It is easily visible from the US 163, between Kayenta and park entrance of Monument Valley.

Park your car in the small parking lot to walk the path to the Crystal Forest. It offers one of the largest concentrations of petrified wood in the park. The circuit runs a loop of less than 1 mile. About 2 miles to the north, on the Petrified Forest Road, is another impressive forest of petrified trunks, the Jasper Forest.

These impressive geological formations, with their colour gradients, owe their name to their similarity to the Amerindian tipis. They have been forged over thousands of years, with floods and strong gales. They are made of layers of sandstone and clay. We drive along the Petrified Forest Road to the Tepees.

An agglomerate of rocks tight against each other sculpts the silhouette of a camel.

Like an open window on the north of the valley flanked by Elephant Butte and Cly Butte, North Window offers a privileged view of East Mitten Butte. Note that you have to walk about five minutes on a road not accessible to cars to reach this point of view.

Papago Park is right next to the zoo and the botanical garden, and offers hiking trails for all the family. The main attraction is Hole in the Rock, which is hardly accessible in a few minutes from the parking, without necessarily owe hiking.

This is the most distinct mountain from Phoenix, thanks to its two bosses, hence its exotic name. It is one of the most escaladés summits in the region. Attention, however, is reserved for experienced hikers. Other more affordable hiking trails (such as Bobby Rick and Ramada Loop) start at the Echo Canyon Recreation Area.

This point of view rises in front of a sandy surface with warm shades.

It's a pouce in English, where you will also enjoy the recognition of a cowboy boot.

A mesa near Rain God Mesa. In Indian beliefs, the thunderbird, which means "thunderbird," was a kind of great eagle that produced thunder by the beat of its wings.

Mitchell Mesa is an imposing table stone block located next to the Three Sisters. After the signing of the 1868 treaty authorizing the Navajo to return to their lands, men came to search for silver mines in the Monument Valley area. This was the case with Ernest Mitchell and James Merrick who gave their names to two formations in the valley.
