Description
Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, which includes the Painted Desert, features a strangely beautiful landscape. The Blue Mesa area, laid down between 220 and 225 millions years ago, is full of mud and sandstones that erosion has sculpted into intriguing landforms with multi-colored layers. The best place to view this unique landscape up close is to walk the one-mile loop Blue Mesa Trail which winds through the canyon floor around the colorful formations.
