Highway 402 to 19 to US 26

South of Pendleton, past Pilot Rock and Ukiah one finds Oregon 402. Head west and then Oregon 19 and you will be transiting through the heart of the John Day Fossil Beds. If you like these pictures and you find yourself visiting Oregon, consider taking the time to drive these roads. These pictures hardly do the drive much justice.
