Southeastern Oregon features a remote, dramatic Basin and Range geography dominated by the arid High Desert. Certainly not a whitewater hotspot because water is scarce in this rain shadow region, yet it plays a vital role. Rivers like the Owyhee River and the Malheur River carve spectacular, deep basalt canyons as they flow northeast toward the Snake River. Rivers like like the Donner und Blitzen River, Silvies River, and Chewaucan River drain snowmelt into closed, landlocked basins, nourishing critical desert wetlands like the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
