Day 1
First stop was at White River Falls State Park.
After White River Falls we found this free campsite on BLM land outside the town of Mitchell, Oregon.
Day 2
Day two started with a trip to the Painted Hills.
Very Close to the Painted Hills is the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.
After a stop in Burns for burgers, we drove another 2 hours to Fields, Oregon.
Day 3
This is the Alvord Desert Playa next to the Steens Mountains.
Then we started back to Portland.
On the way back to Portland we stopped by Shaniko, a preserved "ghost town" in Central Oregon.
Outside Portland, we saw Mt. Hood and another wonderful sunset.
