Oregon's Journey Through Time Scenic Byway is one of Eastern Oregon's most beautiful road trips. The Journey Through Time Scenic Byway stretches 286 miles through Northcentral to Eastern Oregon. Beginning in the community of Biggs and ending in Baker City, this Byway meanders through ghost towns and small farming communities that bring the Old West to life. The "Wild and Scenic" John Day River - North America's second longest undammed river - parallels much of the route, offering excellent rafting, fishing and camping. Geology buffs - and anyone who's curious about fossil - will take great pleasure in the interpretive trails at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. A new scenic loop added in 2013 allows you to circle through to visit the town of Mitchell, Oregon with the nearby Painted Hills Unit of the John Day National Monument as well as historic commemorations of more recent times, such as the Sherman County Museum in Moro and the Kam Wah Chung Museum in John Day.
