Painted Hills, Oregon

You could easily spend a day hiking around each unit of the John Day Fossil Beds... Which should be named "The Thomas Condon Fossil Beds" to be more apropos.

Lava Tube Hike

Roaming through the rainforest we found an opening in the ground...

A long way up or down...

Calcite & Olivine on the high walls & roof of the lava tube

Iron rich lava splatter on the cave wall.
