Sculpted Layers of the Painted Desert

Deeply eroded badlands unfold across Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park, where layered rock formations rise above narrow ravines and weathered slopes. Seen in a sweeping panoramic view, the rugged terrain reveals countless textures, ridges, and sedimentary layers carved by erosion over immense spans of time. Sparse desert vegetation finds a foothold among the formations while the Painted Desert stretches toward the distant horizon beneath a broad spring sky.
