Sedona to Petrified Forest and Painted Desert
We stayed at the Bluewater Lake State Park (and forgot to take a photo of the amazing dark-blue water! Might be nice for a swim in the summer heat), $14 for powered sites, hot showers, and a dump station. Advice: take the State Road 412 to get to it! The State Road 612 (coming from the east) ends up in an unpaved forest road, which in our case was closed!
