Clyde Holliday State Recreation Site — photo spot in U.S 26, Mt Vernon, OR 97865, USA
Clyde Holliday State Recreation Site
A compact state park on the John Day River offering basalt cliffs, riparian river curves and broad canyon views — excellent for landscape and waterscape images. Visit at golden hour for warm side-light on cliffs; spring brings green contrast and wildflowers, fall adds warm tones. Easy roadside access and small parking area off US‑26; no fee, basic picnic/restroom facilities. Weekdays and shoulder seasons reduce crowds; some trails and rim viewpoints require short walks on uneven ground.
