Description

A wide stitched panorama shows the layered, heavily eroded formations of the Painted Hills near Mitchell in east-central Oregon. Ochre, tan, yellow, orange, rust, brown, and gray bands define the arid geological landscape beneath a clear blue sky.

Story

Deep erosion channels create sweeping lines across the formations, while lower hills and a distant mountain ridge extend beneath the open blue sky. The location is within the Painted Hills Unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, accessed from Bear Creek Road in Wheeler County.
