The primary painted desert section of the park is located just north of I-40; in my opinion this area of the National Park offers the "best looking" and "greatest diversity" of painted desert views to be found anywhere in Arizona (and please note, there are lots of painted desert views to see elsewhere in northern Arizona).

For anybody interested in generic painted desert scenery found in other areas of Arizona just copy and paste the URL below in your browser's address bar and press the "Enter" key. I don't understand why, but for some reason hyperlinks don't usually work in Pbase text messages and copy and paste is the only way to fly.
