Co-located with the Petrified Forest National Park, the Painted Desert has some of the most colorful and breathtaking views of any desert in the world. The main park road stretches 28 miles with many paved pull-offs and overlooks.  This picture was taken at Puerco Pueblo.  Puerco Ruin and Petroglyphs are the ruins of a large Indian pueblo, which reached its peak around 1300 A.D., containing over 100 rooms. It is the largest known archeological site within the Petrified Forest National Park.  The site contains over 800 petroglyphs, incised on more than 100 boulders. One of the petroglyphs which has been uncovered at the site appears to show the migration path from the Puerco Pueblo to the Crack-in-the-Rock site, today located within the Wupatki National Monument dating from approximately 1150 A.D.
