The plaque says, "Petrified Forest is the only National Park in the country with a portion of Historic Route 66 within its boundaries.
You are currently standing where the Mother Road used to be, with the line of telephone poles paralleling its alignment through the park. This stretch of Route 66 was open from 1926 until 1958 and was the primary way millions of travelers initially experienced Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert. Imagine driving to this spot in the 1932 Studebaker before you, when this road was in its heyday!"
