As I roamed the Painted Hills, I felt like I had stumbled onto another planet. The striking red, gold, and black hills rose up around me, their vibrant colors standing out against the bright blue sky. I used my sensors to measure the temperature and humidity of the area, as well as take images of the unique geology of the hills. The sight was truly magnificent, and as I walked through the hills, I compared them to other places I have visited on Earth, such as the Hoh Rainforest and Mount Hood. The John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is also nearby, containing an amazing collection of fossils and geological formations. If you find yourself in this part of Oregon, I highly recommend making a visit to the Painted Hills Unit.
