Just back from floating the Owyhee River which is in
Eastern-Almost-Idaho Oregon.
Eastern-Almost-Idaho Oregon.
Beautiful, steep canyons.
Sometimes called the Grand Canyon of the West.

These pictures don't begin to capture the beauty of the area. I only took a few pictures. Didn't want to take pictures from the raft. Dropping the camera overboard would not be good . Lots of class three rapids, just enough for fun, but not too dangerous. Lots of wildlife, lots of birds.
Rafting the Owyhee!
I don't keep a "bucket list", but if I did, this would be on it.
Looks amazing. What a beautiful place to be!
ReplyDeletewonderful area that I didn't know about. I may have to go check this out.
ReplyDeleteThe Owyhee area is one of the places where there was a raging fire this summer. I am so glad that we went when we did. Fortunately, nature has a way of healing itself, so its beauty and health will return.
