Painted Hills - John Day, Oregon

The Painted Hills are breathtakingly spectacular! While traveling through the beautifully stark high desert of eastern Oregon, my husband and I visited the Painted Hills, a stunning example of the power of erosion. The Painted Hills are part of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The area contains over 3,000 acres of scenic views unseen elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Located 9 miles northwest of Mitchell and 75 miles east of Bend, this portion of the park is open year round to visitors. This was our second visit to the Painted Hills, each visit was greatly rewarded for the drive to this out of the way place. If you have an opportunity to travel here, you will never forget what you’ve seen!
