Beautiful drive, a few spots a big scary, since trucks over 60 ft should not use this road. We had a pickup with a very long trailer coming down the road, we stopped on before a corner to give him room otherwise we probably would have an issue. Its a slow traveling road with lots of campsites, evidently great fishing as there were lots of fisherpersons out. the damn is hard to see when on top. Its worth the drive, enjoy.

After visiting the Sheep Rock Unit, we drove 50 minutes to Painted Hills. We did this during our road trip as we made our way from Boise to Bend on Wednesday 9/9. Neither area required any fees which was nice. At Painted Hills, we did several trails: Carroll Rim - this was the longest at 1.6 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 374 feet. It took us around an hour. It gives you views from above but really isn't necessary if you are not up to it because it can get hot and there is no shade. Painted Hills Overlook Trail - 1 mile round trip. This was easy and took around 20 minutes. This trail gives you the best photos of Painted Hills. Note that the colors will change depending on the time of day. Painted Cove Trail - .25 miles round trip and on easy board walk. You can see the red hills here. This trail took around 10 minutes. Leaf Hill Trail - .5 miles round trip. This trail was not very interesting. You can give it a pass. The last one which we did not do was Red Star Knoll Trail. This is a short .5 mile round trip trail as well. The roads in Painted Hills are not paved. It is a dirt gravelly road. In total, we spent around 2 hours here and I really enjoyed our time here. The crowds were not too bad when we visited on a Wednesday.
