Owyhee River Oregon

Silas and Andréa, along with friends and family, launch their raft on the Owyhee River at Rome, Oregon for five days and four nights of spectacular river rafting, camping and exploring. They traveled a total of 67 river miles and took out at Leslie Gulch. They couldn't have asked for better conditions. Water level was at 2000 cfs and made for some really fun rapids.

Great attitudes ❤ fun trip😊

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

Thank you so much :) It was absolutely a fun trip!

[@brentwarneke4293]

great video, looks like you had some great camp spots. I really need to get on this river before they make it permitted which I assume they will do eventually.

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

The water level at 2000 cfs felt ideal. Definitely make it happen if you can!

[@rondanorris27]

I love your adventures!

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

Thanks Ronda! Hope to make many more in the future.

I boated this in 1993. A handful of boats on the entire river. Now the parking lot at the put in overflows with rigs.

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

It has become very popular over the years with more boaters. Glad you got a chance to experience it. Cheers!

[@asammahina]

wow quite the storm!

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

It was invigorating!

[@westernsoutherner1]

Thats such a great float. We did it last year and have been talking about floating again this year all winter. Fingers crossed for good water levels.

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

Awesome. Last year was a nice extended season for it with the water levels. Hope you can make it back there. Cheers!

Kayaking this section again in June....thanks for the video, it's helping me get through the work day! Can you help me to find the hike in the canyon that you featured in this video?

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed the video…We did two hikes below Birch Creek as we took at Leslie Gulch. I think you mean the last hike with the crystals that the whole group did…That was on river left pretty close to where the river flow met the slack water of the reservoir. There was a camp there that actually had a dirt road to it. We made it there because we couldn’t find anything else up river and were getting driven by rain, wind and hail and came to that spot. We got a shelter up, a fire going and had dinner then it cleared up a bit and we got to go on that hike which was pretty awesome. Have an awesome trip and Good luck finding it. Cheers!

[@MichaelRuff-il8se]

@@HeartCompassAdventures Thanks! we are taking out at Birch creek, bummer that we will miss it.

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

@@MichaelRuff-il8se you probably know the road to Birch creek is horrible. There is quite a bit of interesting areas below Birch creek too. The hot springs on the reservoir are worth stoping at.

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

I had no idea this canyon even existed

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

Its an incredible area and not to far from bend.

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

@@HeartCompassAdventures Nice! Sounds like possible motorcycle trip at least

[@agarcia6585]

Shhhhh ... don't tell anyone or next time you want to go you'll have to apply for a lottery to maybe win a permit and deal with the scads of trips on the river!!!

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

@@HeartCompassAdventures Hi there are you guys are! Haven’t got any notifications lately was wondering

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

@@agarcia6585 You’re in luck… Nobody listens to me anyhow lol

[@nymph40]

I wonder how many people bring a compass and who knows how to use it

[@wildzenventures]

We always carry one just in case, learned how to use it when we learned to sail. 😋

[@nymph40]

@@wildzenventures I was reacting to a vid I just seen of parole in white mnt on at in nh who were on top of mnt trying to identify peaks but didn’t know what direction they were looking so good idea to bring a compass

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

Definitely a good skill to have in the back pocket.

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

Is that my cousin Caleb?

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

Can people pay you to take them on these trips?

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

No. We would have to have an outfitters license and insurance the minute we are paid for a trip though someone can buy all the food, vehicle shuttle, gas or any equipment but you cant call it a payment and there is no insurance. If your feeling adventurous sometime and promise no complaining about anything. You can jump on a trip. Right now we dont have any on the Calendar except a trip we barely got on with a group I met on Facebook. That is too the Selway river in northern Idaho in late July. Ive never got to do that one as it is one of the hardest permits in the country to get. The Rogue is a really good option for newbie’s and its only 3 hours from Eugene.

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

@@HeartCompassAdventures Yes, we actually went down the road a little ways on a little raft thing. But nothing as cool as your trips. I had no idea. It was so hard to get that license. I do understand though why when I think about it!
