Hughes River Expeditions

I’m writing to let you know how much I enjoyed my Middle Fork trip last week. It was one of those rare experiences where the reality is better than the expectation… Your gear, food, arrangements, meals, and guides all combined to make it a tremendous wilderness experience… Aside from the natural beauty, the best part of the trip for me was the guide crew, their courtesy, their tremendous river skills, their cooking acumen, and their quiet leadership. Thanks for selecting and supporting suc…

My kids and I were lucky enough to take a six-day river trip with Hughes on the Middle Fork of the Salmon July 16-21. We had heard so many good things about your company over the years that my expectations were set very high. They were exceeded in every respect. Our guides made the trip even better. We feel luck to have experienced the river with such good people. My 16-year-old son had a blast and said it was the best trip of his life. My 12-year-old daughter did not want to be on any river, fo…

Nita and I loved the trip on the Middle Fork – Nita’s second trip with Hughes – my third. The guests and guides made it extra special. We enjoyed meeting Colin – he was great! We’d met Aaron and Ryan 4 years ago. Ryan’s hair was awesome. We spent a lot of time with Buzz – great guy who gave us some good book reading recommendations. Marshall and Barker are kicks! We are going to plan the Grande Ronde next summer.

You have put together a terrific group, beginning with Kim in the office and extending to the field staff. The guides were wonderfully professional, going well beyond what was needed just to do their jobs. The River and it environs are magnificent, and the commentary, friendliness and support of the individual guides enhanced the experience considerably.

The only way I can start this email is by telling you what a great time I had with you and your crew on the Middle Fork trip. There is no part of the trip I didn’t enjoy… Your crew, the fishing, the food, and most importantly the company was great… Please keep me on your list so I know what trips you are planning.

What a great pleasure it was to boat the Middle fork with you and your crew. I cannot think of one thing more you could have done to provide better service or make the trip any more enjoyable. I thought I previously had experienced quality service on river trips, but Hughes River Expeditions proved the others to be rank amateurs.

I am still having dreams of rapids, cutthroat, and beautiful scenery. Many thanks again to your crew for the best trip of my life…. We WILL be back!

Another wonderful trip with the Hughes Crew….We’re already planning next year. I have to compliment you on the most amazing group of employees – they are absolutely wonderful… We’ll see you next season.
