The Last Darkness: Running Oregon’s Owyhee

Jesse Haynes and I attempted to run through the Owyhee Canyonlands in 4 days in early May. Goal was to run the last 170 miles of the new Oregon Desert Trail (ODT) — an off-trail set of GPS waypoints through Eastern Oregon’s vast high desert — we made it 142 miles. Check out the short story and photo essay at Patagonia’s TheCleanestLine.com. Giddyup.
