Day 5- Petrified Forest and Painted Desert

Day 5: Petrified Forest and Painted Desert

GOOD MORNING AMERICA!!!!  This morning we woke up bright and early in the New Mexico Military Institute on our journey to the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest, both located in Flagstaff, Arizona. 

On our ride, we saw parts of the United States that you don’t see very often in the Carolina’s. We saw lots of rock formations and lots of open land areas stretching for hundreds of miles.

Tyler Marr presented the Painted Desert to the group. In his presentation, he exclaimed how the desert was truly a work of art painted by the o-so-famous Bob Ross, he was kidding of course Once Tyler presented, we then embarked on our journey to the Petrified Forest. Here, Abigail Griffith shared her presentation on the forest with about 10 pages of facts!!!!

Once we left the Petrified Forest, TWB then rushed to the Grand Canyon so we wouldn’t miss the sunset. We made it just in time to watch the sky turn into majestic colors and truly capture the true beauty of America. Once we saw this amazing sight, we had to come back to the campground quick and get to bed early… because we’re hiking the Canyon TOMORROW AT 4:00AM!!!!!! See ya tomorrow!!!!
