Located in eastern Oregon, the Owyhee is a stunningly beautiful, remote stretch of river with majestic canyons and stellar class III whitewater, often called Oregon’s Grand Canyon. One of the country’s secret gems of wilderness multi-day river rafting, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act has protected over 120 miles of the Owyhee River from development since 1984. Bighorn sheep and cougars wander through sagebrush at the base of sheer-walled volcanic canyon walls, and guides point out herds of antelope, birds of prey, and other distinct wildlife who visit the river for sustenance. Add stellar archeological sites and hot springs, and this trip fulfills all the requirements for one of the world’s most remarkable river journeys.
