Painted Hills - Large RVs or Travel Trailer not Recommended Beyond Overlook Trail

Don’t get your vehicle stuck at the Painted Hills! Large RVs or travel trailers are not recommended beyond the Overlook Trail at Painted Hills due to limited turning radiuses in the trail head parking lots especially when other vehicles are present. The gravel road is one way in and one way out.

  Tips for Visiting John Day Fossil Beds

  Plan your visit like a Park Ranger!

 

Painted Hills Unit: Carroll Rim

Description: The webcam points towards the northwest at Carroll Rim, a 2430 ft (741 m) hill capped by ignimbrite, or a massive pyroclastic deposit. The ignimbrite sits on top of the Turtle Cove member of the John Day formation. The iconic painted hills are not visible in this image, but the view gives a good approximation of what the weather may be like at the Painted Hills Unit.

Sheep Rock Unit

Description: Sheep Rock is one of the magnificent centerpieces of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. Located just across the John Day River from the Thomas Condon Visitor Center, it rises over 1,000 feet above the valley floor. Colorful, fossil-rich volcanic ash layers can be seen on its slope. The camera is located at an elevation of approximately 2,100'.
