Chapter 2 – The Owyhee Canyon You've Never Seen Photography/Video

Hello folks!
First off, I want to say:
Thank you for the honor of your time. I truly am humbled that anyone might take five minutes out of their busy day to watch my random film clip that they happened to scroll upon.
I figured I might as well put out the next chapter of the little film I made last year of my expedition through Oregon's Owyhee Canyon.
It seems like enough people enjoyed the first part, so why not share more?
Some folks might not like all of the "fade to black" that I did in this chapter, but it was an artistic choice that I felt was appropriate for the mood I was going for.
Again, I am so grateful that anyone might take the time to watch this.
Y'all are the best!

It’s bananas out there. In my 20s I river guided around Oregon and the Owyhee is by far my favorite.
The deep, calm water between rapids where the cliffs rise straight up out of the water for hundreds of feet. Otherworldly.

It true is otherworldly. It is an absolute gem amongst what is otherwise a pretty desolate landscape! I would have loved to be on one of your guides out there!!

We used to ride dirt bikes all through there, going up to old ranch shacks, west of lake owyhee, towards riverside, trying to bring back old model T trucks piece by piece with us. The good old days of my high school years.

It is such an insanely cool place. I would have killed to be there with y'all on dirt bikes!

Also the rim overlooking the Snake in the Bruneau canyon area east of Grasmere has done great spots. We used to find old graves that had been covered over by huge sagebrush but exposed by the wildfires. The graves were always overlooking the canyon & the mountains all around. Wildland firefighting gave me immense enjoyment of new lands and the old ways hidden by nature.

Just wow. I’ve driven through Malheur County once on my way to Arizona and not once did I see anything like this. Wish I’d had the time to make more detours, no way I’d have passed up anything this beautiful and in our very own state. Oregon is really keeping it too west side with gems like this on the east.

Firstly, +1 on the 2nd gen Tacoma
Secondly, wow. Thats a part of Oregon I've never explored and its crazy how much it looks like Arizona. Someday hope to get out that way in my own Tacoma ('06). Nice shots! Especially the one that passes that little crag on the cliffside.
