My Visit to Bend OR: Day 8

So the next Friday, we went to the Painted Hills: "some of the richest fossil beds in the world.."


This area is covered with the volcanic deposits since millions years ago. And now you can see layers of different colors (/different combination of minerals) that make up the hills as a result of a long long period of erosion.


Besides Niagara Falls, this is another spectacular view I ever witnessed :)



Janet said "Baby dah sampai Painted Hills!"

First time they drove their Lancer to the Painted Hills.

Another part of this area is called the Painted Cove. It's covered with piles of different colors of soft claystones. The surface looks like a bunch of popcorns as a result of millions years of erosion.




The lavender color soil is actually the deposits that came from a volcanic mountain 100 miles aways from this area.


Rehat sekejap :D

A nearby lake.

The next stop was the Pilot Butte. It is just a hill in the middle of Bend, and many people walk/ jog up there to see the view of the whole town. We on the other hand took an easier way: drove all the way up!



This is Bend.

And from here I saw their tiny house (guess which one?)

All in all, it was a great trip that day. It wasn't something fun, but it would be a day to remember :D
