If you've never been to central Oregon (I mean east of Bend) you must find time to go. This is Cant Ranch which is right by the John Day Fossil Beds. The Cant family raised sheep here. Unfortunately the house isn't open on weekends, but you can still wander around the property, see the shearing shed, and walk a trail down to the river.
This is a view from a lookout on the highway between Dayville and Mount Vernon. I think the geography over there is fascinating.
Here are some pictures of the Painted Hills. The different colors are from the minerals in the clay. There are so many different colors of reds, greens, browns, grays, and even lavender. It is pretty spectacular. One sign recommends evening for the best photos. It was overcast and not evening when I was there.
