Given the limited accommodation options and the nature of Mount Vernon, the best area to stay is generally along or just off US-395, the main highway passing through the town.

This central strip provides access to the few local businesses and services available. You'll find the main street, which is part of US-395, features the town's small grocery store, a couple of eateries, and the gas station. It's a very small, rural community, and the available lodging tends to be concentrated in this central area for convenience.

For solo travellers or couples passing through, staying in Mount Vernon offers a practical stopover. It's a good base for exploring the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, with the Sheep Rock Unit being a relatively short drive away.

The best time to visit Mount Vernon is during the late spring and early autumn months, specifically from May to June and September to October.

These periods offer the most agreeable weather conditions for exploring the area. You'll find comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from the mid-teens to low twenties Celsius (60s to low 70s Fahrenheit), which is superb for outdoor activities without the intensity of summer heat or the chill of winter. The natural scenery is particularly appealing during these times, with wildflowers blooming in spring and the foliage changing colours in autumn.

For those keen on outdoor adventures like hiking or fishing, May and June are ideal. The rivers and trails are usually in excellent condition, and the wildlife is active. It's also before the peak summer crowds, offering a more tranquil experience.

If you're interested in local events and a slightly more relaxed pace, September and October are splendid. The harvest season often brings local markets and festivals, and the cooler, crisp air makes for pleasant walks.
