Central Idaho’s snowpack is 100% of normal. This trip will feature exhilarating rapids and strong river flows that provide extra time to experience the amazing features offered on the “banks of the Middle Fork.” The trip will focus on visiting natural hot springs, historic cabins, pictographs, and hikes throughout the Middle Fork canyon.

Client Testimonials

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.
D. Lombardi, Boise, ID (2014)
What a wonderful trip and fantastic guides!  Thank you!
Dolezal, Chester, ID (2021)
We both had such a wonderful week – it will definitely be a vacation that will have an important place in our memories forever! It’s been hard to express to our friends and family at home just how perfect the trip was – you can’t imagine how beautiful the scenery is til you are thrust upon it.
P. Kiggen, Chagrin Falls, OH (1992)
We enjoyed our Wallowa-Grande Ronde float trip very much! I hope another year we can again raft in ‘Hughes Style’.
W. Gibble, Gig Harbor, WA (2000)
Just wanted you to know what an excellent time we had on the Salmon River Canyon last week. My expectations were so high based on our prior trips with Hughes and it was hard for me to believe that those expectations could be exceeded – but they were. Great trip, great weather, Buzz, Traves, and Mark were absolutely outstanding. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. You’ve outdone yourselves again. THANKS!!
K. Gowland, Boise, ID (1998)
Great trip again.  Thank you very, very much.  The Hughes Crew is terrific.
J. Wiant (2019)
Thanks go to you and the fine group of other both clients and guides that you have assembled.  That does not occur by coincidence, and clearly reflects both your client service skill and humanity…  Thanks again for a great experience.  Stay in touch.
R. Khuzami (2019)
Once again had a great trip….  Be safe and we’ll schedule another trip soon.
Gannett, Salt Lake City, UT (2021)
We all had a blast. Thanks so much for putting together such a great team. Now I have to drag my wife and little girl out there, but I will need a Four Seasons Hotel to stop at each night!!
F. Scherma, Santa Monica, CA (2008)
Thank you so much to you and your team for a fabulous trip! … As you know, this was my first river-rafting and camping trip and you and your team made it a fantastic experience…. Thank you for a wonderful memory!
