Trail Detail
Owyhee Backcountry Byway, Owyhee County
The Owyhee Uplands National Backcountry Byway offers high desert scenery at its finest. From expanses of sagebrush and grasslands to sheer, red-walled river canyons, the byway provides an opportunity to visit a vast, little-known area known as the Owyhee Plateau. The byway, a well-maintained gravel road, is 103 miles long from Grand View, Idaho, to Jordan Valley, Ore. From Boise, it’s a 250-mile roundtrip, so it’s best to take your camping gear and recreation toys and camp out for a few nights. The main byway is not open to OHV use, according to Owyhee County officials, but it provides access to literally hundreds of miles of secondary roads that can be accessed from Mud Flat Road. Pick up a more detailed map of the area (with land ownership) and go explore. Please respect private property and avoid any areas that are posted "No Trespassing."
