Idaho's overlooked Owyhee Uplands Byway 

I love the Owyhee mountains and all that it has to offer. Thanks for sharing.

Really great video! I'll be checking this route out.

Love that area such beautiful scenery!

Great video. I appreciate the plant references.

thank you

Hey, I used to deliver to a Walmart distribution center in Grandview!

I spent the first five years of my life on the banks of the Owyhee River at Rabbit Draw (google earth). My dad was a Forest Ranger and we lived in the government house with shop and barn from 1935 until 1940. Our Post Office Box was in Mountain City which was 3 miles beyond Prattville and the turn off to to the Rio Tinto Mine. The names that come to me are the neighbors; Walt Davidson, old man Peck and the Andres. The mine had a doctor that served the community as well as the miners. I will remember his name tomorrow. David W. Hansen Ps Maybe it was Dr. Sigurd

Stunning area. I love sagebrush and desert scenery in eastern OR and Idaho. I live in Portland but do a lot of hiking out in the sagebrush deserts in eastern OR. Always wanted to explore the Owyhee Canyonlands and that general area over there. Enjoyed this video and some of your other ones too. Thanks for sharing.

LWe loved the video ! We've been planning to take this route in May, is it a fully marked route on BLM land or is there private land to deal with? Thanks again for a great video!

Any good rocks? I’m a super crazy about the graveyard point, succor creek, Owyhee reservoir areas. I know them like the back of my hand. But ! I’ve never ventured up north! I’ve heard silver city has good materials.

Nice video as always. Thanks for sharing!

Driving through those areas imagining what life was like way back when. I need to make time to explore some side roads next time. Head north of JV, explore Sands Basin, Succor Creek, Jump Creek, ideas.

We traveled portions of this from 3 forks east. Long day then found private property on the Idaho end. The rancher was good enough to let us continue through his ranch to the highway. Posted private lands is always a risk in much of this area. I plan to return next spring and do some camping, exploring and paddling on Owyhee River.

Think the boom bust cycle of insects partly allows them to not be eaten as high percentage wise by predators, and they sometimes follow a food cycle.

Glad I found this! Been interested in getting up to these areas since we aren't far in Caldwell. Any good camping options with trees up in the higher elevations? How about Silver City area? Also, have you been to the Sage Hen Falls above Succor Creek Reservoir on the Idaho side off of 95 at the border? Just subscribed.

Did you do this drive in 2 days? If so, where did you camp?

The BLM has been cutting down the junipers all through that area. They're creating a big eye sore in my opinion.
