PAINTED COVE
The Painted Cove is like an artist's palette. Colors
of claystone and rhyolite accent green shades of life and a nearby blue pond,
the entire scene surrounded by the Ochoco Mountains.
An enjoyable quarter-mile trail leads visitors around and through the hills and cove. Though fossils finds are rare in these red clays, fossil bearing layers are present nearby
