When I was a kid we went camping a ton, because my parents were poor and camping is cheap as hell. We went to a ton of national parks, and a lot of cool and scary things happened. A moose walked through our campsite when I was eight, for example. One of the coolest parks I remember going to was Petrified Forest National Park. The giant rock trees and the semi desolate landscape create a real sense of otherworldliness that I found irresistible. There are also pueblo ruins, which make the area feel even more haunted. Even though it's illegal to take wood from the forest, what they don't tell you is that petrified wood can be found all over that part of the country. We grabbed a small log that was just there at a gas station near Monument Valley, which is also cool as hell. Another one that I liked was craters of the moon national monument. It's the remains of a bunch of volcanic activity, with basalt flows, calderas, and small cones that once spewed lava. The flows are still young enough that nothing really grows there, so it appears to be a black lifeless plain when you hike on it.
