Shelton Wayside Park
Small roadside wayside overlooking the John Day River valley and rolling high-desert hills — shoot broad canyon vistas, river meanders, juniper silhouettes and seasonal wildflowers. Easy pull-off parking, no fee; accessible paths and picnic spots. Best at golden hour and blue hour for warm light and long shadows; spring brings flowers, clear nights offer Milky Way views. Weekdays have minimal traffic; bring water and wind protection.
