Owyhee Trip

[Sugar Pine]

Also visited the Owyhees recently. Unfortunately, it rained and we found our tires coated in a thick layer of clay and rocks coming back from Painted Canyon, so we avoided Chalk Basin and Three Forks. Did more tourist stops on the way back (Juntura and Crane Hot Springs, Sumpter, Granite sort of ghost town).

Snively Hot Springs (rock pools on left)

Owyhee River downstream of dam (good fly fishing)

Succor Creek (way too much poison oak)

Painted Canyon

Whitish Lupine (and storm clouds)

Dago Gulch

Upper Leslie Gulch (climbed up a steep section at end)

Owyhee Reservoir hike to Echo Hot Springs

The storm clouds made for great photos.

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for documenting this amazing area.

so we avoided... Three Forks.

You didn't miss much. The hot spring looks cool, but if that isn't on your agenda, there isn't much reason to go down there.

(By the way, the itchy-making plants out there are poison-ivy, not poison-oak.)

I got out of there just before the rain rolled in, I think. Still looks like you had a pretty good trip. Amazing how the roads there turn from concrete to muck when they get a little wet.
