MIDDLE OWYHEE RIVER RAFTING EXPEDITION

Highlights:

• Exciting Class V+ whitewater rafting
• Luxury camping with delicious river meals
• Stunning remote canyon scenery
• Optional hiking, kayaking, and hot spring soaks
• Appropriate for ages 16 and up

The Owyhee desert is one of the most remote regions of the lower 48 states and carving its way through it runs one of the most remote rivers in our great land – the Owyhee River. A journey into this region will introduce you to a bizarre landscape of lava flows, and cliffs of both sandstone and granite found side by side. The Middle Owyhee offers the most difficult and technical whitewater that Northwest Voyageurs runs, including the famous Widowmaker Rapid which is typically an unrunnable Class VI through which we line our boats. This trip requires all participants to be in good physical condition with a serious interest in embarking on an adventure.

Choosing the 4 day option allows for a more relaxed itinerary with time for more hiking or relaxing in camp. Please note that certain water flows are required to run this trip, and we use either the Lower Owyhee or Hells Canyon as our back-up trips. While each season varies, the most reliable time to book these trips is in April and the first couple weeks of May.
