Journey Through Time Scenic Byway is a scenic byway in the U.S. state of Oregon.[3] It spans five Oregon counties and comprises portions of U.S. Route 97, Oregon Route 218, Oregon Route 19, U.S. Route 26, and Oregon Route 7.[4][5] The John Day River meanders through much of its route.[1] The byway offers glimpses into the geologic and pioneer history of Oregon.[1] It passes near the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, including its Painted Hills unit.
