Who painted these?

Giants painted these hills many years ago.
Well, that’s at least what I thought because there didn’t seem a possible way for the hills to be so many incredible colors. Painted Hills is really cool. There are plenty of trails to check out all the great hills and valleys. It turns out that these different colors are from volcanic ash over 30 million years ago! Yes, I said millions!!
