During our trip planning, I happened to spot John Day Fossil Beds National Monument on the map, and after just a minute or two of poking around the Internet to see pictures of the place, we both knew that it was a ‘must-visit’ destination.
The Monument consists of three separate chunks of land including the Sheep Rock, Painted Hills, and Clarno Units. Coming from the north and east, our first stop was the Sheep Rock unit where the visitor center is located. The Thomas Condon Paleontology Center features exhibits, interpretive programs, and audiovisual presentations on fossils, geology, and the processes of paleontology.
