Kyle House is a professional geologist who has conducted research in the Owyhee Canyon since the early 2000s and leads geology trips down the river each rafting season. Ken Giles (retired) is an enthusiastic amateur geologist who has been rafting the Owyhee River and studying its geology since the 1970s.

The authors fell in love with the Owyhee River years ago and have long wanted to write a guide explaining its unique geology. They teamed up in 2021 and spent three field seasons researching and writing this guide book.
