The Owyhee River trip was great

Don't miss it, there's still plenty of water

We just got back from a 6 day Owyhee River rafting and kayaking and trip and I just have to say that it was awesome! The weather was perfect, in the 70's, and plenty of sun was to be found. We ran the Lower Owyhee which has everything from mild Class 2 rapids, one Class 4 rapid, but mostly Class 3. It was the perfect trip for our group to get away from the stress of everyday life and just relax!And relax is what we did.

We managed to secure the main campsite at Ryegrass hotspring and we did a layover here. It was awesome! We had our choice of two different hot springs, one being hotter than the other. We soaked and soaked the Owyhee in. It was fabulous. Other groups that passed us were a little jealous of this.Luck must have been on our side because we managed to squeeze onto a small little campsite at the Greeley Bar hotspring. We felt like we had won the lottery again!

Malcolm and Matt were catching fish like crazy, one bass and mostly catfish. Both of them are sport fisherman so we didn't eat the fish they caught. However, we did eat really well and it almost seems like we gained a few pounds on the trip. We played some Bocce Ball in the sand and gazed at the stars in the crystal clear sky. It was a perfect trip.

Why not escape the everyday hustle and bustle and join us on our upcoming Owyhee trip June 13-18th? Call us for more trip details. You'll be glad you did.
