Some of Eastern Oregon’s best views appear after sunset. Spend the day hiking along the John Day River at Cottonwood Canyon State Park, then stay to see why it earned recognition as an International Dark Sky Park. With limited light pollution, it’s an incredible place to see the Milky Way. ⭐️ After a summer of wildfire activity, support communities throughout the John Day River Territory by grabbing a meal, shopping locally or staying overnight in Condon, Arlington or Fossil. Remember to check current conditions and always pack out what you bring.📸 1. Joni Kabana // 📸 2. Destination by Design
