Hughes River Expeditions

The Snake Man, It was unanimous that all had a great time. I think we have passed the torch to the next generation… I spent most of my boat time with Colin aka Snake Jr. There were times when he would say things that would freak me out because he sounded so much like you. I would have to turn around to make sure I wasn’t in a time warp. It was like you were on the oars. Good to see you my friend.

I lie in bed at night thinking about the Screech Owl talking and the two huge storms with real lightning and thunder that shook my safe tent. I was so excited to see the Black Bear under the tree so relaxed and the great Big Horned Sheep down drinking water out of the river & groups of sheep way up high on the side of the mountain. The one River Otter that smiled at us, then dove under the rocks.

I’d like to thank you and your entire team on a wonderful Idaho experience that only “Hughes” can provide. It’s an extraordinary place and I feel more than satisfied that we’ve seen something special and unique.

I enjoyed this trip as much as any of the many I’ve been privileged to be on with Hughes. You and the crew were excellent … assuring our safety and enjoyment of this awesome river. The power of the high water will remain with me forever…

I’m writing to thank you and your crew for our experience on the Salmon, Middle Fork, August 1-6, of this year. Your crew was beyond merely profession, rather somewhere over in the superb…. Not only the gourmet food… and the stacked Dutch ovens and all so tasty – Wow! I understand why so many among the guests were ‘old timers’ with you on that River….with wonderful memories.

Thank you for another outstanding trip. You guys always go the extra mile to make these trips awesome! Buzz, Aaron, Marshall, Matt, and Colin were fabulous guides (as always)! The company, the food, and the wilderness – you couldn’t ask for anything better! Thank you so very much! I would so much like to be back on the river, listening to the calming (and rushing) water, soaking up the sun and fresh air, enjoying the solitude and peacefulness …with good friends.

Thank you again for a great trip! It was a real privilege to be in such a beautiful place with wonderful people. The guy playing the flugel horn was fantastic too!
