IntroductionWe will be going on a tour of the Painted Hills in Eastern Oregon. Most people visiting the Painted Hills stay in Mitchell, a small, flood-prone town in Eastern Oregon. You will be taking a tour of this town as well.

You’re here! Can you find the Painted Hills from this picture? (hint: they’re orange-brown)

Close-up of Hills

Don’t go near the hills! Footprints made in the hills stay for years. How do you think we could keep people off the hills?

View from Trail

Want a fantastic view of the hills? There are many trails in the area that take you above and around the hills. Can you find a few of them?
