Petrified Forest - Date will change- Read Description

Making Strides Goes to Petrified Forest National Park!
Date: Oct 17 - 19
Time: Saturday, around 10:00 AM | Duration: 4–5 hours
Location: Petrified Forest National Park, AZ
Group Size: Limited to 20 people

I recently visited Petrified Forest with my friend Anna, a longtime member of Making Strides who now works at the park. After spending the day exploring with her, I knew I wanted to bring our group here for an unforgettable adventure.

Anna has kindly offered to lead our hike through this incredible landscape. With more petrified wood than you can imagine and trails galore, this event will be a day of exploration. We won’t list specific trails just yet—we’ll leave room for discovery!

Important Info:
• Park Entrance Fee: $25 per car (good for 7 days).
• America the Beautiful Pass holders get in free—just bring your pass and ID.
• Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash.
• Do not remove anything from the park—not even the tiniest rock. Please respect and protect this beautiful place.
• The park is about a 3-hour drive from Albuquerque; Holbrook (a nearby town) is about 3.5 hours.

Weekend Option:
I plan to stay Friday through Sunday to make the most of the trip. There are lodging options in Holbrook including a KOA, RV parks, and a couple of hotels. If you stay Saturday night, we’ll plan a group dinner in town.

This event will be capped at 20 people, so once the date is posted, RSVP early if you’re interested. Looking forward to this one—it’s going to be special!
