Painted Desert my shot We stopped at some of the native American reservations on our way from the Grand Canyon, and got this view of the Painted Desert. It was incredibly hot, dry and beautiful.
The people selling the crafts were friendly and informative, and the desert was magical. This part of the journey back East was my favorite. The American Southwest, and the Great Basin, are special places. Magical and powerful.
I hope I can get back here without a car full of my belongings someday and really explore this wild land....
