Desert Wonder - Explore

            The Painted Desert - Petrified Forest National Park
Arizona, USA

The very appropriately named Painted Desert is also part of the Petrified Forest National Park.  It is located in the northeast part of the state of Arizona on a high (5,000 ft) desert plateau and extends beyond the park into the Navajo Nation.  The park is somewhat odd, but interesting.  Access is easy because Interstate 40 actually runs through the park with the Painted Desert being on the northern side and the Petrified Forest on the southern side of the highway.  With the orientation of the view points the afternoon sun lights this part of the park nicely.  The summer can bring magnificent monsoon clouds, but the temperatures are often extreme (Expect every day to approach  100F and often 110F).  We were lucky during our visit with a moderate number of visitor and mild temperatures with plentiful clouds.  The air was wonderfully transparent.  We were only there for a few hours on a return trip from Santa Fe, NM, but it was well worth the visit.
