Your Cure for Nature Deficit Disorder (NDD)


The secret is out!  The John Day Basin is quickly becoming one of Oregon’s top eco-tourist destinations to discover nature’s hidden treasures. We recommend the following vehicles to take you on your epic journey:


Your Car – Embark on a magnificent sight-seeing tour by traveling the “Journey Through Time” byway, one of many immaculate roads that serve as a passageway into this long-forgotten landscape.  (INCLUDE SOME LINKS HERE OF PDF DOCS)


A Raft - Leave modern civilization and experience the rugged and remote outback in style.  The wild and scenic John Day River offers more than 170 navigable river miles and is one of the few rivers in the United States that can offer boaters multi-day trips that mimic the days of the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Your Bicycle – Explore The Basin by taking the road less traveled.  Riders will experience the unprecedented beauty of pristine landscapes first hand.  Let the gears translate the terrain and the road transport you to another time and world. (HIGHLIGHT PALEOLANDS GUIDE)


Your Motorcycle – Put on your leathers and go back in time.  Purr through ancient passageways of picturesque gorges and geological wonders. Take a break from the troubles of the real world and escape into the land that time forgot. (HIGHLIGHT GUY’S MOTORCYCLE GUIDE)
