Description
When I saw the folds in the earth at the Painted Hills Unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, my first thought was that they resembled giant toes.
Most people don't think of desert landscape when they think of Oregon. Thoughts tend to be of rugged coastlines and evergreen forests, but east of the Cascade Range you'll find large areas of flat grassland and desert reminiscent of Arizona.
I have to admit that as toes go, they're not necessarily the prettiest. But as landscapes go, the Painted Hills are a beautiful geologic formation.
