Painted Hills, Oregon, USA
It
looks as though someone has taken a paintbrush to these color-splashed hills in
central Oregon. One of the ‘seven wonders’ of the state, they form part of
the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument and their rich hues – scarlet, ocher,
peanut and black – are the result of a changing climate over millennia. The
striking rocks still change color today and five hiking trails wiggle
through the landscape. Check out America's most important National
Monuments.
