Historic Cant Ranch Museum
Address: 32651 HWY 19, Kimberly, OR 97848
The John Day basin in eastern Oregon preserves a nearly unbroken fossil record from 45 to 5 million years ago, when the region shifted from jungle to grassland. The monument's three units include the striped Painted Hills, the fossil-laden Palisades at Clarno, and the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center at Sheep Rock.
Walk the Painted Hills' easy trails and watch paleontologists at work through the lab window. For a challenge, hike the Blue Basin trail's canyon loop among blue-green badlands packed with fossils.
