Last stop in the park was the Painted Desert, which is this massive expanse of stratified red stuff that covers several states. Supposedly it’s one of the more impressive features of the park but I was pretty worn out by the time we got here.  So I took a look, tried to say hello to some Texans who gave blank stars back at me, then went back to the car.

I’m sure the place would have been more spectacular during sunset, but we had places to go and no time to dwadle!
