The Painted Desert
Petrified logs were scattered all throughout the badlands area. We took a hike called Long Logs and viewed an adobe home that had been rebuilt in part.
A petrified log is on top a huge cliff. It used to extend out over the hillside, but fell off several years ago.
Ravens, a cousin to the Midwestern crow, are much larger than expected.
Ancient tribes carved symbols into what is now termed Newspaper Rock.
Driving through the desert, we spotted a golden eagle majestically perched upon a hillside.
