COVID – 19 & RIVER TRIPS
We are committed to offering first-class trips on some of the best rivers in the west. We intend to operate in the most honest, open and healthy way possible for our guides and clients alike. Here’s what you can expect on our trips this year:

  • All plans will closely follow the Idaho Governor’s Reopening Guidelines, and our actions will be fluid as we continue to monitor the reopening measures. If we anticipate any important changes or must modify a trip for any reason, our office staff will update all guests.
  • Face Masks or Buffs: We will not be requiring guests to wear masks on the river, at the pre-trip meeting, or in camp. During transportation to and from the river on buses and planes if required by the transportation company’s policies.
  • Vaccines: We intend to have the entire HRE Crew vaccinated prior to the season beginning and have offered a $100 bonus for each crew member who receives the vaccine to incentivize this aspect of protection from the virus. We strongly encourage all guests to be vaccinated as well. We respect vaccinations as a personal choice and feel we cannot require everyone be vaccinated.
  • Personal responsibility: An important takeaway in managing COVID-19 was the effort by everyone to be personally responsible for safely traveling to and from Idaho & Montana, and monitoring oneself during a trip. We ask that if you have been exposed or feel any COVID-19 symptoms, before, during, or after your trip, please let our staff know. Having transparent communication is something that’s necessary for the health of our communities, guides, and guests.
    • Please Self-Screen before traveling to the trip.  If you have been or are suffering any of the following symptoms, please check with a doctor before your trip.
      • Loss of sense of smell and/or taste
      • Body aches
      • Headaches
      • Shortness of breath
      • Sniffles
      • Cough
      • Unusual fatigue
      • Fever
  • Sanitation: HRE takes great pride in maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene in wilderness and backcountry environments. Multiple no-touch hand washes and sanitation stations will be dispersed among our camps and at places of interest on the river.
  •  Respect: HRE is a family. The crew, the management and the clientele make up a very special community that we respect and value immensely. With the steps being made to get back to “normal life” there are multiple factors that everyone has to take into account and respecting each others personal situations, lifestyle and space will be vital moving forward through this process.

The procedures are based on common-sense efforts to mitigate the risk or spread of COVID-19 on a trip. By working together we can manage this new risk to the best of our abilities. We appreciate the support of new and returning guests alike, guides, staff, and everyone else who supports HRE who have continued to show understanding as we navigate the changes in our industry and society. We look forward to having you join the Hughes Crew this summer!

Client Testimonials

The guides were all beyond great… everyone went above and beyond to make the trip a memorable one. …I enjoyed Colin’s knowledge of the geology, wild life, land management and Idaho history… Dave, Aaron, Josh, and John’s campfire songs and games could not have been funnier or more entertaining. My kids will remember the trip for that alone! I also really appreciated the wisdom and years of experience of Buzz and Bob…. My 9 year old was beyond thrilled that Buzz let her help make a bir… Read more

The August 25-29 Middle Fork of the Salmon Trip – it was SO GOOD!  Your guides are first-rate in all regards.
Watts, Boise, ID (2021)
I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that our trip down the Middle Fork was such a very, very special time for us that it will remain in our hearts and minds for years to come. Very seldom does a week go by that we don’t mention something that we did or learned on the river, and as the years turn to decades… I know we will always cherish your companionship.
J. Lehman, Dallas, TX (1986)
We just wanted to send you a note to tell you what a wonderful time our family had during our trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River on August 17th-22nd. We could not have asked for a better group of guides. Each and every one – Joel, Marshall, Aaron, Bob, Ryan, David and Eric was terrific. The guides worked and played continuously to provide our family with an unforgettable experience. The patience they had, and the rapport they displayed, with all three of our sons was unbelievable.
