Is this painted effect as a result of sedimentation? Do you perhaps know the geology behind these hills?

Can I assume that the painted affect on these hills is as a result of sedimentaton? Do you know the geological background of the area?

Yes the different colors are due to different sediment layers. This is near the John Day Fossil beds area in eastern Oregon here is a link with some basic information. http://mitchelloregon.us/painted-hills/ Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! Been a busy month!
