The Painted Desert encompasses over 93,500 acres and stretches over 160 miles. It begins about 30 miles north of Cameron, Arizona near the southeastern rim of the Grand Canyon to the Petrified Forest about 26 miles east of Holbrook, AZ. Along the way, it grazes the backyard of the Wupatki National Monument Indian Ruins. The Painted Desert derives its name for the multitude of colors ranging from lavenders to shades of gray with vibrant colors of red, orange and pink. It is a long expanse of badland hills and buttes and although barren and austere, it is a beautiful landscape of a rainbow of colors.

I haven't been to the Painted Desert in years. I had forgotten how truly amazing it actually is! Wonderful picture, Brian!

I have photos and I've seen it. Can't say I ever want to go back. I have vertigo and standing near the rim I became pretty ill and it took me days to recover. But that aside it was of the most magnificent creations of God I've ever seen.

This is a beautiful area and I have visited Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. I need to go back. Maybe this winter would be a good time.

America the Beautiful. Whether the Painted Desert, the botanical gardens, the Cascades or the Smokies, lakes and streams we take each as its own identity and value it.

The desert southwest has a lot more color than people realize. And as the sun moves across the sky, the show on the ground takes on different looks. Nice pic!

Thanks Robert (Vegas Bob) Swetz , but I received a notification saying that the post was removed from the group, not featured, haha. Glad to know that it was featured, rather than being removed!

It would make a great jigsaw puzzle Bob "RealMan" Timm , she previously had one of her photos turned into a jigsaw puzzle. I wrote a blog post about it, if you can find it. It was entitled "jigsaw puzzle", I believe.
