The canyonlands are among the most rugged areas you'll find anywhere. I love chukar and lion hunting that area.

However, most of it is in the bottom of the deep canyons and inaccessible without some serious climbing. This photo of the Bruneau River is just 1 example.

Fished there last September. Was actually when the fires started around Portland. Camped out on interior land and woke up one morning to a haze. Figured out what was going on when returning to cell phone coverage a few days later. Last edited by TimberRunner; 05/08/21.
