Owyhee River Canyonlands

On my previous visit to the Owyhee River Canyonlands, I was surprised at how difficult it was to access or even view the river. But when later studying area maps more closely, there appeared to be some primitive ranch roads that possibly could afford access, or at least views. So, exploring those roads was this visit's objective. After a few days and a great many very dusty miles, I did find a few hidden gems.

An added bonus was finding the Balsam Root flowering (after finding almost no flowers in Utah).
