The Painted Hills, one of three units in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, was
named one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon by Travel Oregon. The site is about 9 miles
northwest of the town of Mitchell, which is about 37 miles west of Dayville. The unit features
many short trails, from .25-1.6 miles, providing different perspectives of the red, yellow and
black clay hills.
