A. Davison, New York, NY (2016)
What I really wanted to write about is how, once again, the guides were what made the trip. Of course the river, the rapids, the scenery, the food, etc. was stupendous, but the collection of extraordinary people is what we’ll remember most. They all work incredibly hard but never made any of us feel they are inconvenienced. They not only made lifelong memories for us but really have played a part in the development of our children. Their gift will always be treasured. I’ll let them tell you … Read more
L. Bower, Chevy Chase, MD (2000)
Our guides were all exceptional!  …treated Tom and me like family members.  They celebrated Tom’s birthday with pancakes in the morning and a Dutch oven cake with candles for dessert that evening.  Thank you for an amazing family vacation.

As you may have guessed, our expectations with regard to rafting the Middle Fork of the Salmon were extremely high and, to a person, your organization exceeded these expectations on our float last week. I want to commend you on your exceptional planning and the faultless execution of the plan.
T. McLane, New Canaan, CT (1989)
“Truly an amazing trip!  I think my clients yesterday may have gotten sick of me talking about it.”
J. Eaton, Bozeman, MT (2016)
I had to write as soon as we were back to let you know what an amazing time we just had. It was probably the most wonderful experience we have had as a family. Everyone loved every minute. The whole trip exceeded even our best expectations and created memories for us and the children that will last a lifetime. Buzz and Hugh were both absolutely fantastic, as guides, chefs, and cocktail mixers!! Thank you so much to everyone for creating just the most spectacular 4 days. We love the Salmon and it… Read more
