Description: The "Grand Canyon" of Oregon! Deep down into the 1,000-foot canyons of eastern Oregon, you'll find the Owyhee River. Originally named for a trio of Hawaiian trappers exploring the uncharted river, the name of the Owyhee is derived from an earlier version of "Hawaii". Today this river is well-known by rafters for its remote beauty and technically challenging rapids. But it's also a protected Wild & Scenic River maintained by the BLM to ensure its millions of years of history and archaeological values will carry on to future generations.
