In this video we explore and learn about The Painted Hills. This area is part of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. It is a very popular sightseeing destination in Central Oregon. In addition to beautiful sights, there is a lot to learn about how this area was formed.
This video is part of a trilogy for the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, see the rest here:

We stopped by the Painted Hills on a whim. The drive to the hills off the main road is very short and it' worth the time to visit. We were in the motorhome and had lunch with the most beautiful views out our windows. Go see it if you are in the area.

@MattCookOregon Год назад

It is real special. The other two units are great also if you haven't been. I did a video on each unit.

@gannibootis 3 года назад

You are correct, the area is photogenic but your little family is as well.

@MattCookOregon 3 года назад

Ha thank you. Glad I decided to include them in a few shots.

The Painted Hills do look like a painting! Nice to see you family too ! Happy Hiking !

@MattCookOregon 3 года назад

Thanks Rosemarie. I usually don't show the family, but might have to more with all these nice comments about it.

When I was trucking, I got to deliver the structural steel to the Painted Hills interpretive center. I arrived the evening before and it had just rained. The sage was incredibly fragrant and the night sky was breathtaking. Put it high on the "one of these days" list of places to go.

@MattCookOregon Год назад

A very special place. Rain has a huge effect on the colors of the hills too.

We are planning a trip here and wanted to know how these were formed, turns out the perfect video is made by my friends husband :D You're now part of our homeschool curriculum!

As always Matt, great job on this video. I just went to painted hills,when the last snow hit the peaks around the área. It's an amazing place.

@MattCookOregon 3 года назад

Thank you Antonio. This was right after some snow melted. Maybe that helped them look a little wet and darker.

@kevinruiz5583 3 года назад

Hey Matt, started watching many of your videos and was wondering how do you know when or at what state parks it is okay to fly a drone like the DJI mini 2? many of the websites don't offer any info on this.

@MattCookOregon 3 года назад

I always try to follow the rules. Public lands will have same rules for all drones regardless of size. Some parks have a website with info, some have signs, some no info. Wilderness and wildlife refuges are the main places it is always off limits. Did you know every coastal island rock in Oregon is a wildlife refuge? Best thing to do is contact the ppl that run the land and ask. Feel free to ask me about any spots cause I have done the research on most of them.
