As the seasons change and the ground cover turns from leaves to snow, we begin to think about yet another summer on the water with our friends and family. It is difficult to be caught in thought of a beautiful snowy day without the image of that snow melting and boats unrolling at a put-in for a wilderness river coming to mind.
With consistent and bountiful storms here in the Northwest and Central Idaho we are looking forward to a great summer with plentiful flows. The Hughes Family and Crew would love to take this chance to invite you and yours out for a premiere, all-inclusive, backcountry river trip vacation. Wonderful camps, exciting rapids, hiking, fishing, and fabulous meals with family and friends make this sure to be the vacation for you in 2016.
We have a brand new website! Follow the links below to the specific trip of your desires or to the general website.

The 2015 river season is just around the corner and there is still time for you to book your next family vacation. Hughes River Expeditions is very excited to start their 39th season in the business, and would love to have you and yours on the river.
Jerry and Carole raised their three kids on the rivers. We love family river trips, and we do them very well. Give us a call. A family river trip will enrich your relationships, and make unforgettable memories.
Bob was a collegiate football player, he even played against (and tackled) O.J. Simpson. During the off season Bob works in the Sailing industry from Monterrey, CA all the way to the Bahamas and beyond. This season will be Bob’s 32nd with H.R.E. Thanks for boating with us, Bob!
Check out Our River Menu. Pork chops are featured night three of our Middle Fork Salmon trips. The meal also includes butternut squash, stir-fry, and beer-bread. We top it off with our Pineapple Upside Down fresh from a dutch oven. We have a great restaurant but we’re hard to find. We move about 15 river miles daily.
