![]() I love the combination of writing, photography and video on your site…. There isn’t many National Parks that allow dogs on trails, I was glad to see John Day allows this! We would love to check out the gold mines but this will have to be another trip. We don’t have any little ones, we’re older middle aged with a grown teenager and two oversized, over-loved dogs that are aging that we can’t bear to leave behind (which is why we rented the RV). Thanks so much for the information, we’ll give it a try, hopefully we won’t leave a bumper behind! You have a great website, I found several other stops we’ll try to make, the Sunstone area and the John Day Fossil beds you linked to. There are no facilities whatsoever, so pack in everything you’ll need, including water. Take your own toilet paper! Glass was everywhere and it was very sharp, so wear good shoes. Tips: we had great cell service the entire time (AT&T), there is a cell tower on the larger Glass Butte. There’s also this excellent map that floats around online, but I haven’t found the creator of this map (so if you know, let me know!)įor More Info: While Glass Butte is managed by the BLM, the Deschutes National Forest has a helpful writeup and can also assist with questions.Īges of our children: 11, 6, and 3, and 4 months Maps: We used the map in Gem Trails of Oregon and it was a great map. ![]() If you go, and I hope that you do, here are the details you’ll need to know.Ĭost: free, 250 lb per person per year limit It was a super cool find, especially for the kids since we didn’t do much else except worry about our car. It’s a broken piece discarded by a knapper, and legal to claim. We found this arrowhead in a pile of scrap near our camp site. ![]() The next morning, we got up early, broke camp without eating, and drove very slowly to the highway. We were planning to camp anyway, and as it was getting late, we went ahead and made camp at the closest site to the highway. My husband was able to jury-rig it and we made our way back toward the highway. Long story short, a piece broke off of our radiator. My husband shut the van off, and as he did, smoke billowed from under the hood. Disaster!Īs we pulled into the campsite, our van temperature suddenly started rising. Our plan was to head back down to the aurora borealis pit and start digging. This road was not passable with our van, so we pulled into the campsite there to turn around. ![]() We drove up to the turnoff that heads up to the butte-top where the red obsidian and rainbow can be found. We did not see snakes while there, but watch for them, too. You’ll probably see a lot of rabbits and squirrels. As you drive up the road, admire the unique scenery. ![]()
