4The John Day River, Oregon
The 147.5-mile was designated in 1988. On this 70-mile river-trip from Clarno to Cottonwood Bridge, you’ll float through black, volcanic basalt gorges and colorful, ash deposits filled with fossils. As you approach mile five you will hit some Class III and !V rapids. However, the lower section is exceptionally leisurely.
Enjoy the views as you drift through the 1,200-foot-deep canyons and watch for golden eagles, river otters, mule deer, and red-tailed hawks. For the best experience, schedule your trip between April and June.

Where is the picture from of a girl in like a natural stone hot tub by a river, I want to go there!
Hi!
I am unsure which picture you are referring to but t should coincide with the accompanying article entry. At any rate, thanks for the comment and for your support!

That picture in the hot springs next to the river was taken in Colorado. I visited there last summer (2021) after remembering a trip there with my mom in in my 20’s!
It was very memorable! I can’t remember the town. Look up “hot springs in Colorado”
They’ve added several pools there and hotel rooms!
Hi!
If you are referring to the pictures in the collage, you could be right. To be honest, I have not been to Colorado for several years now. I have to say it is still amazing to me how you can start a trip in one state and before you know it you’ve been in a couple of others! Still, that’s part of what makes it fun! Did you ever go to The Four Corner States and stand in four states at once?
Thanks for your support!
