Island in Time Trail, Blue Basin, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon, 18-September-2021
After overnight and morning rains, the colors in these paleosols really popped...and the air was washed clean of wildfire smoke too. Excellent afternoon hike into the Blue Basin formations...volcanic badlnds, where the blue and green colors are caused by celadonite, a mineral found in some types of volcanic ash.
