The beautiful colors of Painted Desert/Petrified Forest NP in Arizona are hard to imagine, especially after a rainfall.

I like how the various layers of the earth are so well defined, Joe. Easy to understand how the national park got it's name. Very nice.

As I recall, those were just grasses, but if you look at the bottom of the ravine, you can see some large petrified wood pieces. Thank you both for the comments.

I've never been overly inspired by this National Park but your photo makes me want to take a third look
