Day Trips and Field Studies

OPLI can help your family, group, or class explore the John Day Basin’s extraordinary geology, diverse ecosystems, and scenic back-country!

DAY TRIPS:
Is your group or family itching to explore, but doesn’t know quite where to go? Or what there is to see? Or how long it really takes to drive from Antelope to Fossil?

Let OPLI plan a custom day-trip or a weekend for you.

We can develop an itinerary at no charge so you can optimize your time in the John Day Basin’s extraordinary landscapes—and understand what you see. Interested in history? We can connect you. Butterflies? We know where they hang out.  Raptors? We can provide places and times of the year, and how to get there. Geology? You bet.

If you’d like, we can also guide your family or group on a half-day or full-day trip that can include finding fossils, exploring native wildflowers, bird-watching. Want to learn watercolors? Focus on photography? Let us know—we can help.

Please call us at (541) 763-4480 or e-mail us for custom trip cost and reservations. You’ll see - and understand - lots more when OPLI is your partner.
