The Owyhee Canyonlands - An Outdoor Adventure Guide
As an Owyhee County rancher, I have invested many years helping to craft a wilderness and wild and scenic rivers plan for Owyhee County that fits our community. I'd like to welcome the recreation community to visit the Owyhee Canyonlands in a safe and responsible manner. Please abide by Leave No Trace principles, close the fence-gates after you pass through, and enjoy your time in the Owyhees. It's a special place that will grow on you. --Brenda Richards, Chair, Owyhee Initiative CommitteeFor the last 25 years, the Owyhee Canyonlands has been my favorite area to explore in Idaho and Eastern Oregon. It is a huge, rugged high desert playground out there. This guide offers a lot of great tips for a successful adventure and features many of the best places to visit and explore. --Leo Hennessy, Idaho Department of Parks and RecreationThis is a one-of-a-kind guide for a one-of-a-kind landscape. The Owyhee Canyonlands are a national treasure, best discovered with a dog-eared copy of this book tucked in your backpack. Steve's excellent route descriptions and Mark's amazing photographs are an excellent introduction to a landscape that is at once fragile, enduring and wholly remarkable. --John Robison, Public Lands Director, Idaho Conservation League
