A Grant's s Getaway escape that explores a landscape of enormous vistas and endless horizons at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The national monument is a three-unit preserve that draws professionals and amateurs alike from many different fields--as well as the generally curious who want to learn more about Oregon's geologic history and a fossil record dating back 45 million years. We explore the Painted Hills, the Sheep Rock Unit and hike thru the nearby Blue Basin on a day long journey that will teach visitors much about Oregon's ancient times.

I remember bicycling across Oregon for the first time in 2010 and comming across John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. It was quite the sight.

3:17 , did he say 33 bln years?

@glockumollie Uh, no. It's not an eschatological debate. The planet is 4.5 billion years old, get over it. n8834 is pointing out that Grant meant to say million, not billion. 33 million years ago was the Paleogene period.

I've never been here because it's in the middle of nowhere.

"Nowhere" is a relative term. There's amazing geology out there, fossils also at Camp Hancock, near the little town of Fossil.....fishing all over ....(John Day River has an amazing salmon / steelhead run.)....there's much to do in "Nowhere".
