There’s Still Time to Book 2015

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.

Family Raft Trips

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.

A Little River in Your Kitchen

Pork chops on the grill

Hughes River Guide, Bob Madrazo, cooking some delectable “Hughes style-cut” pork chops.

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.

Specialty Trips

River jam

Robby Durran and Tony Herold jamming on the river. Good food equals good times! We would love to see you on the river this Summer!

Experience counts, and we have plenty. 2015 will be Jerry’s 50th year working as a professional river guide. Join the Hughes Crew on the river!

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)
