Owyhee River Trips & Prices
Lower Owyhee
|
|
The
Lower Owyhee is much mellower that its upper run, but the scenery
is truly mesmerizing. This run features some of the most beautiful
and amazing terrain of the entire river system. It is said that each
mile you travel down this section of the Owyhee you travel back 100,000
years in geological time.
Some of the stunning landscapes include the Iron Point Gorge, waterwheels, Sentinel Canyon, Montgomery Gorge, Mahogany Mountains, Weeping Wall, Rustler's Cabin, Bogus Creek Falls and the Chalk Basin/Lambert Rocks. The many great scenic aspects of this run are accompanied with petroglyph fields, hot springs and mouthwatering meals. These alone will help create some of the fondest memories you will ever have. Exciting rapids like Whistling Bird, Montgomery, Artillery, Bull's Eye, Rock Dam, Rock Trap, Upset and many more will eagerly challenge you!
The Lower Owyhee is only runnable from late March through mid June!

Middle Owyhee

|
This section of the Owyhee offers hands down, some
of the biggest rapids in the Northwest. With famed rapids like Ledge,
Subtle Hole, Half-Mile, Raft Flip, Bombshelter Drop, Shark's Tooth
and the mystical Widowmaker, you will be assured of a true adventure!
The spectacular canyonlands are some of the most beautiful around, filled with petroglyphs, massive basalt canyons and a few old abandoned ranches. We explore nature and travel through a timeless journey, stopping at the occasional natural hot springs or hike into one of the many amazing tributary canyons, unique grasslands or an old rustlers' cabin! Just from the launch site, one can observe the abandoned road intended for the postal service by stage coach. These are just a few of the intriguing attractions that very few people are privileged to see in their lifetime!
