About this park:
Nestled between the Painted Desert and ponderosa highlands of northern Arizona, Wupatki National Monument is an unlikely landscape for a thriving community. The early 1100’s marked a time of cooler and wetter weather, when the ancestors of contemporary Pueblo communities created a bustling center of trade and culture. For indigenous peoples, these sites represent the footprints of their ancestors.
Why did we choose these colors?
We used this photo of a storm brewing over the park as our colorway inspiration: https://www.nps.gov/media/photo/gallery-item.htm?id=3F694876-155D-451F-6793CEC7057E02E9&gid=4013D115-155D-451F-67C4555AB2FB853D
