The Wallowa-Grande Ronde Rivers are known for their amazing sub-alpine scenery.  With the opportunity to float through timbered canyonlands and hike on lush moss beds one day and desert landscapes through Ponderosa Groves the next makes this river very unique!

Birds of Prey, Big Horn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Deer, and Elk all call the Wallowa-Grande Ronde drainage home.  It is a wonderful place to take time out of a busy schedule, take a deep breath and enjoy the beauty the Northwest has to offer.

What a wonderful trip and fantastic guides!  Thank you!
Dolezal, Chester, ID (2021)
You guys and gal did a superb job of making this trip enjoyable and memorable. We admire your skill, your friendly demeanor and, especially your teamwork.You made us feel special!
Members of the Spruce Creek Rod & Gun Club, PA (2008)
“I am so happy to have gotten to spend time with you in your environment.  You clearly found your niche those years ago.  I/we had a great time.  I met some very interesting people and have new friends.  River time is curative of almost all ills.  It was great for me in many ways.  You have a great team.  You are turning over the reins to a very competent young man – Colin.  I look forward to more river trips with your outfit…”
J. Menzner, Boise, ID (2016)
The trip was great – Such a beautiful canyon and river, we had a wonderful time! Great beauty, many laughs and wonderful food! Will be back again soon!
L. Thomas, Camp Sherman, OR (2005)
We really enjoyed our trip this past week on the Middle Fork. My daughter, Barrie (6 years old) had a great time. I don’t think I have ever seen her have as much fun.
B. Wright, Cleveland, MS (2006)
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.
M. Proce, Knoxville, MD (2009)
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!
K. Peters, San Francisco, CA (2014)
What an outstanding operation!  This company’s river guides are the best I’ve come across.  My family has rafted the Grand Canyon, Cataract Canyon, and a host of others with professional guides.  Hughes company was by far and away the best we have ever used.  Everything they did was excellent.  The food was incredible, the service top notch, and their staff and guides were warm, fun, and very attentive.  Don’t hesitate to book with this company!
P. Lowe, Ogden, UT (2018)
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)
Thank you to my guides and other guests.  The sky, the land, the river were all awesome.  This was a most memorable adventure.
Cote, Levittown, NY (2021)
