Sculpted by Time

Layers of weathered stone rise above the deeply carved badlands of Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park. In the foreground, a hardy desert plant clings to the edge of a layered formation, contrasting living vegetation with a landscape shaped by countless years of erosion. Beyond it, steep ridges and narrow ravines reveal the intricate textures and muted colors of the Painted Desert, where wind and water continue to sculpt the terrain.
