Little Painted Desert County Park

Navajo County, AZ

Coordinate verified

Navajo County day-use overlook of Chinle Formation badlands — a compact, free “mini Painted Desert” north of Winslow on AZ-87. Color-banded clay hills drop away from a rim road with picnic sites and interpretive views; far less crowded than Petrified Forest’s painted desert section.
