Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona - United States
The Painted Desert is an interesting and colorful part of Northern Arizona.  It starts south of Holbrook and extends about 120 miles north almost to the Utah border.  It encompasses about 7,500 square miles of the Colorado Plateau.  The area is made up of colorful mudstone and sandstone known as the Chinle Formation.  The rocks of the Chinle Formation were deposited from 227 to 205 million years ago during the Triassic Period.  Over the next 180 million years the rocks were buried, uplifted and then eroded into the present-day badland topography.  This photograph of the Painted Desert was taken from Little Painted Desert County Park near Winslow, Arizona, USA.
