John Day Country Part VI: Foree District


Sheep Rick Unit

While staying at the Wilson Ranches B&B near Fossil, we spent a few days visiting the very interesting and wide-spread units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. On a somewhat stormy day, thankfully turning to mostly sun breaks, we journeyed to the Sheep Rock Unit.

Foree District

The Unit is subdivided into the Mascall Formation Overlook, Picture Gorge, Blue Basin, Cathedral Rock and the Foree District.

After visiting all the other sites, we stopped at the Foree District parking area. There were two short, but enjoyable trails that we hiked in the area.
