The Tepees and Blue Forest Trail
The Tepees and Blue Forest Trail
About
The terrain in Petrified Forest transitions to an alien landscape of gray and blue badlands. Within this landscape are The Tepees, a set of conical, banded hills that resemble tepees. The south pullout for The Tepees is the trailhead for the Blue Forest Trail, moderately difficult and 3 miles out and back through stunningly spartan badlands. This is one of the park's unmaintained 'off the beaten path' trails. Make sure to grab a map with pictures from the visitor center! If you decide to hike, then expect to spend more than an hour here. There are some narrow sections and steep drop-offs as you climb higher, and the trail may be slippery when wet.
