DAY FIVE - John Day Painted Hills / Emmett Idaho (Oct. 2, 2007)
We left Prineville and proceeded to April’s childhood friends house in Emmett Idaho. We decided to take Highway 26 and visit John Day Painted Hills National Park. Here is a little bit of info I found describing it (but not really describing it)...
A visit to the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is like taking a journey into ancient Oregon. Whether you tour the museum at Sheep Rock, hike a trail at the Painted Hills, or picnic at Clarno, Oregon's exciting past will be revealed. Vividly colored, red, black, and tan striped hills make up part of the lower John Day Formation. The color variation reflects changes in ancient soils and vegetation during a major global cooling event approximately 33 million years ago. The volcanic ash that accumulated here and formed these colorful deposits, also records the onset of Cascade volcanism.
Following is a small sampling of the pictures we took in the park.
