Peak Northwest

How to explore Oregon’s wild Owyhee Canyonlands

Listen Later

If you want to get away and really get away, you might try escaping to Owyhee.

Located along the Owyhee River on the far eastern side of Oregon, the Owyhee Canyonlands are a remote high desert getaway with places to hike, boat, fish and explore. Even the drive is incredible.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we talk all things Owyhee, giving a primer on exploring the far-flung destination.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • How exactly do you get to Owyhee?
  • What can you do there?
  • The best places to explore while you’re out in the canyonlands.
  • There are a few good places to anchor your trip, though all involve a lot of driving.
