Burnt Ranch Road in Mitchell, Oregon, meanders through a picturesque landscape, offering a gateway to some of the region's most stunning natural attractions. Nestled near the vibrant hues of the Painted Hills, this road goes by Byrd's Point, where panoramic views captivate travelers, and the winding John Day River, a serene and scenic waterway. The road is in good condition and maintained to ensure a smooth journey for visitors. While the area's beauty might entice adventurers to camp along the roadside, it is essential to note that camping is only permitted within designated areas. These include the Burnt Ranch Recreation Site and the Lower Burnt Ranch Campground, both situated by the John Day River, providing well-equipped spots to enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings.
