North Ochoco Reservoir

Access to this site requires a rugged ¼-mile hike through scenic high desert country. Colorful agate and jasper can be collected on the ground surface below the cliffs overlooking the site. Many specimens have cavities filled with drusy quartz. The agate and jasper is often attached to boulders of lava rock, so a rock hammer and some chipping tools are useful for removing the desired material.
