This is an easy, well maintained trail that takes you along the base of the Palisades between the picnic area and the rest of the trails in this part of the park.

As you ascend up the side of the Palisades the trail ends at the base of the arch. It towers straight up above you. A trail marker signifies the end of the path, and as you turn around and head down you get great views of the Spring Basin Wilderness across the road to the south.

As you hike along the base of the Palisades, keep an eye out for fossils of leaves and pieces of wood along the trail. Be sure to leave the fossils undisturbed for others to enjoy!

You can park off of Route 207 near the BLM gate and head up the trail from here. The trail takes you through cow pastures at the start, so be sure to close gates behind you and keep an eye out for cattle!

Great view point to see the Painted Hills sprawling out around you. The hills are listed as one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon. The different colored layers are due to different periods of wet or dry climate conditions.
