 Overview
This route takes you into the remote high desert of Owyhee country past expanses of sagegrush, gnarled stands of junipers and the sheer red cliffs of river canyons. The word Owyhee comes from a misspelling of Hawaii - a group of Hawaiians disappeared up the Owyhee River in 1810. Highlights include the Owyhee River (a very limited float trip season is available outfitters) and an overlook at North Fork gorge. This 101-mile gravel road, a full day excursion from Boise, is often closed by snow in winter. Complete services are available in Mountain Home and Jordan Valley, Oregon with partial services in Grand View and Bruneau.
