Gloss mountains national park or glass mountains, Oklahoma
Between 1100AD and 1200AD native people inhabited the plains between the Painted Desert and the San Francisco Peaks of Arizona. In an area so dry it would seem impossible to live, they built pueblos, harvested rainwater, grew crops and raised families. Their way of life was the key to survival in this harsh landscape. These people survived here, farming one of the warmest and driest places on the Colorado Plateau. They developed the skills to farm the land and endure hardship in an area where many would not. Today the remnants of their villages dot the landscape. This Pueblo dwelling is on East Mesa in Wupatki National Monument. The monument, established in 1924 to preserve this rich heritage, is near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

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.
