Painted Desert - Arizona

The Painted Desert is part of the Petrified Forest National Park. Here the dunes take on very mixed and vibrant color formations. The area stretches for miles upon miles with quite pleasing views where one can stop as you drive thru this portion of the park. Did not really expect this, as the Petrified desert was the destination, but I enjoyed this more.

The Story behind the picture
Painted desert is rather an appropriate name for this area. One does not think that the sand would be colored in such beautiful colors. It does hold your attention.
