Yesterday we went north of Yuma to the Imperial Wildlife Refuge and walked the Painted Desert Trail. It is called this due to the elements causing different colors in the rocks and ground. Reds are from iron, greens from copper, and the whites, I don't know. Above is a small lizard, you may have to click on pic to bring it up bigger.
This rock formation is from two washes converging. As the water rushed down, it eroded this rock.
This trail is only 1.3 miles, but takes awhile due to climbing over rocks and walking thru loose sand. We did not see any rattlesnakes, scorpions, tarantulas, or spiders. Yeah!
