This is the region of the Painted Desert, for the marls and soft rocks of which the hills are composed are of many colors, chocolate, red, vermilion, pink, buff, and gray, and the naked hills are carved in fantastic forms.

Passing to the region below, suddenly the channel is narrowed and tumbles down into a deep, solemn gorge with towering limestone cliffs.
speaker_1NARRATOR
36:24
All around the margin of the valley of the Little Colorado, on the side next to the Zuni Plateau and on the side next to the San Francisco Plateau, every creek and every brook runs in a beautiful canyon.
speaker_1NARRATOR
36:36
Then down in the valley there are stretches of desert covered with sage and greasewood.
speaker_1NARRATOR
36:41
Still farther down we come to the badlands of the Painted Desert, and scattered through the entire region low mesas or smaller plateaus are everywhere found.

36:51
On the northeast side of the Little Colorado a great mesa country stretches far to the northward.
speaker_1NARRATOR

Rebecca Eden WalkerNARRATOR

Two days later, when we were on a jutting point about eighteen miles east of Bright Angel and one thousand feet higher, we enjoyed another storm of equal glory as to cloud effects, though only a few inches of snow fell.
Rebecca Eden WalkerNARRATOR
41:34
Before the storm began, we had a magnificent view of this grander upper part of the canyon and also of the Coconini Forest and Painted Desert.
Rebecca Eden WalkerNARRATOR
41:44
The march of the clouds with their storm banners flying over this sublime landscape was unspeakably glorious, and so also was the breaking up of the storm the next morning, the mingling of silver-capped rock, sunshine, and cloud.
Rebecca Eden WalkerNARRATOR
42:01
Most tourists make out to be in a hurry even here.
Tom PollardHOST
39:26
So if you ever need to come stateside and take a vacation, go someplace, I highly recommend that.
Tom PollardHOST
39:32
And then what's the other one everybody goes to that's out that way? There's another, Painted Desert or something.
Tom PollardHOST
39:37
It's very hippie-oriented.
Tom PollardHOST
39:39
Everybody says I should go there because I would really dig it.

Ryan MillsNARRATOR
2:04
You can stand in a painted desert and film yourself next to a rock and it doesn't matter.
Ryan MillsNARRATOR
2:10
Half the people watching will tell you the rock was AI-generated.
Ryan MillsNARRATOR
2:14
Now, they've never been to the Painted Desert and they're never going.
Ryan MillsNARRATOR
2:17
They can't check it and they know they can't check it.
Ryan MillsNARRATOR
2:20
And a person who can't check anything eventually stops believing everything, especially in the modern world where anything can be generated.
