Looking at the area, I was intrigued by the deep, deep river canyons north of Murphy Hot springs. Anybody been up there?

I've hiked into some of them on fishing trips. I have not camped between Bruneau Dunes (nifty place) and Murphy Hot Springs. Do NOT get caught on the dirt roads when it's wet. Stay put until it dries out again. You'll wind up buried to the axle in clay before you know it. I've done more camping and wandering around on the Oregon side of the Owyhees, just because it's closer to home.
