3. LA - A Airway Beacon #51

4. Petrified Forest National Park Visitor Center (North)

5. Painted Desert Tower Trading Post

6. Painted Desert Inn (Museum)

7. Petrified Forest NP Route 66 Checking Station

8. Painted Desert Park (The Lion Farm)

9. Dead River Bridge

10. The Painted Desert Trading Post

The tour is offered on Friday, June 10, and again on Sunday June 12, and is limited to 40 persons per tour, due to space limitations on the bus. The tour guide is PFNP Paleontologist Bill Parker. A boxed lunch and transportation on an air conditioned bus are included in the $15 fee.
