About Owyhee River
The Owyhee River is one of the hidden gems of eastern Oregon. Tucked away in the southeast corner of the state, this is one of the most remote areas in the lower 48. During this 4-5 day trip through the “Grand Canyon of Oregon”, you’ll float 45 miles of class II and III water, hike to 9,000-year old petroglyphs and archaeological sites, soak in natural hot springs and experience some of Oregon’s beauty that many will never see in their lifetime. We’ll supply excellent guides, quality camp gear, and delicious meals. This is a trip of a lifetime, and we’re honored to share it with you. Call us - we’re happy to answer questions about what a trip like this entails.
