The Painted Desert is vast, covering much of northeastern Arizona. This album is in two parts: what your grandparents saw during their drive to Utah and the Painted Desert on the "Petrified Forest" side of the desert.

The Petrified Forest National Park looks like a place where someone has cut down all of the large trees; however, on closer examination it turns out every one of them has turned to stone, agate, over the centuries.
