"..It is a beautiful river, sometimes exciting, sometimes tranquil, and always desolate(isn't that part of what it makes it so beautiful?!). I wanted to write to you to tell you how impressed I was with the professionalism and talent of the three guides on the trip. They are incredibly nice people, with unlimited patience, superb social and leadership skills. Most importantly, their skills, experience, and knowledge on the river were outstanding, giving me confidence and eliminating concern for four fun filled days in Sunny Eastern Oregon!" - Joel
Middle Owyhee River Rafting
Momentum Middle Owyhee Trips
The Middle Owyhee is a classic Momentum spring trip. Remote, very rarely run, with the kind of challenging logistics that we relish! In 2008 we ran 4 trips in this spectacular canyon (a record maybe?) and we truly love showing people this place. Please call if you have any questions about this amazing adventure! |

not disappoint. You can check it out at: www.opb.org/programs/ofg/episodes/view/1805. |

his is one of the most incredible and rarely
run river trips in the country. A Middle Owyhee trip is for those
who are looking for isolated wilderness, spectacularly dramatic
landscapes, and plenty of excitement. Set in sheer-walled, awe-inspiring,
rhyolite gorges are rapids such as Half Mile, Bombshelter, and
Raft Flip. The climax comes at a rapid called Widowmaker, a class-V
drop filled with powerful hydraulics and large boulders. Like
the Lower Owyhee the Middle also features hot springs, abundant
wildlife, and beautiful side hikes. This river trip is a true
wilderness experience, an expeditions style trip, and a journey
to one of the most remote lands in the lower 48 states. The Middle
Owyhee is a great choice for those with prior rafting experience
or adventurous beginners in good physical condition.
Please note: Access to the Middle Owyhee becomes difficult in
adverse weather; to allow maintain the highest level of safety,
we reserve the right to switch the trip to the Lower section if
necessary. Also a portage of Widowmaker Rapid is generally necessary.
Because of this we must pack lighter then on most of our trips.
All Middle Owyhee trips feature a high Guest to Guide ratio.
