Petrified Forest National Park
Bicycling Information

Bicycles are a great way to travel through Petrified Forest National Park. The 28 mile park road and 3.5 mile loop around Blue Mesa offer scenic vistas without large changes in elevation. The park roads are relatively narrow, but long, straight passing areas allow motorized vehicles to pass bicyclists safely.

  • Bicycles are allowed on paved road surfaces only.
  • Bicycles may not travel off road and may not use paved walking trails.
