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!

COVID – 19 & RIVER TRIPS 
With Covid-19 still apart of our lives, we are asking our clients and staff to take every precaution possible to ensure the most safe and healthy trips on the river as we can.  This includes getting vaccinated prior to your trip, if possible; limiting exposure to large groups or gatherings before your trip, wearing face masks when going out to public places and during travel to and from the river trip, and washing your hands more often and more thoroughly!  Please practice high levels of sanitation and precaution when preparing for and traveling to your river trip.  Please remember to self evaluate for signs or symptoms of possible Covid-19 infection in the weeks and days leading up to your river trip.

HRE has improved sanitation on the river, as well.  We have invested in many products for around camp and the boat houses.  Each guide will be wearing a mask/handkerchief/buff while preparing any meal that won’t be cooked, while serving any food, and while in close quarters such as a bus ride to and from the river.  Clients will also be required to wear a mask/handkerchief/buff while serving themselves food or using any group-shared common items (ie.: water cooler, cocktail ice cooler, hot water and coffee dispensers, etc.)  We have also invested in a product called Vital Oxide which has a half life of around 60 seconds and the effectiveness of 100% bleach.  Guides will be moving around the camp spraying down common items with the Vital Oxide routinely.  We have also invested in gallons of hand sanitizer and each shared common item will have a hand sanitizer stationed along side which you will need to use (or wash your hands) before using any shared common camp item.  Between trips, the gear is laundered, washed by our new Hotsy machine and commercial dish washer and/or sprayed down with Vital Oxide and hung to dry.

We are ecstatic to be able to offer our services to the public again, for the 45th season, going into the summer of 2021, and feel confident about offering trips with these increased sanitary protocols.

Beautiful sight lines all around you in every camp in the Main Salmon!

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!

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

Thank you to my guides and other guests.  The sky, the land, the river were all awesome.  This was a most memorable adventure.
