Painted Hills

Part of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, the Painted Hills near Mitchell Oregon are one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon. Feature stunning natural wonder and beauty as if painted by an artist's brush, the surrounding hillsides show an array of colors resulting from floods millions of years ago when this was an ancient floodplain.
