No, you don't have to swim to get up this creek drainage. But if you're not careful, you might end up doing so anyway. There are a few sections requiring rock climbing skills. You also should know how to identify poisonous plants, or you'll be left scratching your head (and everything else). |

Brian considers the possibilities. |

As with many of the Owyhee canyons, the uplands can provide as much fun as the creek bottoms. |

On our way back, we spotted a herd of wild horses. You may need to click on the picture so you can see a larger version to tell which little brown spots are actually horses. |
