The Painted Hills

We've spent a lot of time in Oregon over the years but never heard of this. It would have been cool to visit. From Nice News "The Painted Hills are more than a mind-bending natural masterpiece. Millions of years of history make up the unexpected multi-colored layers of this ancient landscape in central Oregon. Located in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, the rainbow-hued hills started as volcanic fallout and continued to form over millions of years of climatic changes and geological processes. The spectrum of colors splashed across the rock formations — which range from deep red and purple to golden yellow and inky black — are the result of the soil’s unique minerals and rock formations. The colors can change from time to time, based on the lighting and the moisture levels in the ground, but for the best chance of seeing the hills in their most surreal state, visit during the late afternoon light."
