    Over 300 miles of rivers in the Owyhee Canyonlands are protected under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Protected river sections include the famous Jarbidge, Bruneau and Owyhee rivers.


    The best way to celebrate the Owyhee Canyonlands is to float one of the Wild and Scenic Rivers! The second best way to celebrate is to join us at this upcoming event.

    John Robison, Idaho Conservation League’s Public Lands Director, will provide an overview of the Owyhee Canyonlands, describe the character of different river stretches, and offer logistics advice for planning your own adventures. John will also describe the Owyhee Initiative’s collaborative approach to crafting these protections.

    As always, this event is free and open to the general public. See you there!

    Join us for a weekend campout at Warm Lake. Activities will include, hiking, hot springing and socializing at the lodge.

    Our hike day will be Sunday. We will meet at the lodge at 11:00 AM. Possible destinations will be Vulcan Hot Springs, Tule Lake, Summit Lake, Kline Mountain or Bear Creek, depending on what the group chooses. Those who don't want to spend the weekend can opt for the hike only.

    Our group will be based at North Shore Lodge. The lodge has been gracious enough to set aside some cabins for the group, If you would like to rent one, call the lodge and tell them you are with the Idaho Outdoor Association group. This offer will probably not last long, so hurry and make your reservation. Of course camping is also an option at many dispersed sites in the Warm Lake area.

    For further information, email sandy@idahooutdoorassn.org. See you there!

    Participants will run or hike a challenging 6.2-mile course or a 2.9-mile out-and-back course around two adjacent, symmetrical volcanic pit craters, about 8 miles northwest of Mountain Home, Idaho. The 6.2-mile route takes runners around two symmetrical volcanic pit Crater Rings, a unique site featuring a few examples of volcanic pit craters in the continental United States and recognized as a National Natural Landmark. The 2.9-mile course leads to a spectacular view of the east crater. The shorter route is an excellent option for those who want to experience the craters but don't want to travel around them on a rough and challenging course.

    The goals of the event are to encourage the values of low-impact, non-motorized outdoor recreation and raise funds for Idaho Outdoor Association projects, activities, and educational programs; for more information about the event, go to Annual Crater Crawl
