Few people know about the Owyhee (and even fewer can pronounce it). So we’ve come together with fellow outdoor brands Osprey and Ibex to raise awareness about this truly wild place – and help protect it from encroaching development.
The short film “Wild Owyhee” showcases the natural beauty and diversity of Oregon’s Owyhee (oh-WYE-hee)Canyonlands, the largest stretch of unprotected public land in the lower 48 states.
“I think it’s important that people know that these places still exist, and they’re out here and they’re for everybody. If nobody knows about it, it’s hard for them to value it. You’re not going to love something that you don’t know about. And you’re not going to protect something you don’t love. So that’s why we gotta keep spreading the word about places like this. Places like the Owyhee,” says trail runner Jereme Monteau.
Words can’t describe the stunning landscape of Owyhee’s almost two million acres of untouched terrain that has been called “Oregon’s Grand Canyon.” So we won’t even try. Instead, watch the video for a glimpse into the amazing remoteness of the Owyhee and the many recreational opportunities available there. Then, take action to help keep it wild.
