Puerco River, Northern Arizona
These photos were taken in autumn along the Puerco River in northern
Arizona
. This section of river actually passes right through Petrified Forest
National Park, and these fall colors stand in stark contrast to the much
drier Painted Desert that exists in better-known parts of the park (for more
typical "Painted Desert" type photos click HERE).
The whole region is
also covered with Native American archaeological sites.
