The Oregon Painted Hills are near Mitchell, Oregon in Central Oregon off Highway 26. They are dramatic but not extensive. There is a nice overlook and a walkway or two. The walkways are necessary because the hills are composed of vermiculite (aka kitty litter) and walking on the surface leaves large and long lasting footprints. It’s well worth the visit if you are anywhere close.

I didn’t know about these hills. They are remarkable. And you’ve caught the perfect light to reveal the contours. Lovely image.
Thanks. Yes, they are a little known wonder out in the middle of Oregon’s high desert.
