The Island in Time Hike is part of the Sheep Rock Unit in the John Day Fossil Beds. This short hike is perfect for the kids. If you're looking for a longer outing, the Blue Basin Overlook Trial is a 3.25 mile loop and departs from the same trailhead.
Make sure you stop by the Thomas Condon Paleontology Visitor Center while you're in the area.
Getting There: The Sheep Rock Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds is off Highway 19 between Kimberley and Dayville Oregon approximately 2.5 hours from Baker City.
