We're in the last few days of our trip! It's all familiar territory now. The countryside is, of course, still dramatic and beautiful. The highlight of this day was a fossil hike that was full of interesting fossils, and the fun of spotting them.

We started our day with a sunrise

and moved on to the usual fascinating geology

that has characterized this entire trip.

Along the way we encountered a large herd

of bighorn sheep.

We stopped to explore the John Day river, where we found lots of crayfish and freshwater clams.

And then went on a fossil hike.

It was really fun trying to spot the fossils!

Some were more subtle and others very distinct.

This imprint is even three dimensional!
