Once again had a great trip…. Be safe and we’ll schedule another trip soon.
Gannett, Salt Lake City, UT (2021)
Thanks again for all the wonderful food, local expertise, and a couple of well-deserved dunkings. It was wonderful hangin’ out with all of you! I’d love to run the Middle Fork with you sometime in the future. You all ROCK!!!!
Rachel Neugarten & Deanna Brown, The Nature Conservancy, Portland, OR (2006)
…the wonderful six days we spent on the Middle Fork with your terrific crew. From beginning to end, they were a special team making sure that all twenty three of us were happy, satiated (what great food!), and content…
S. Robertson, Sun Valley, ID (2015)
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)
I have an annual rafting trip with an amazing group of women. This year we met at the Lower Salmon in Lewiston Idaho. The crew assigned to the Divas was great. These guys worked HARD at making our trip everything it could be. Amazing scenery, great fun, yummy food, great guides who are very fun… my face still hurts from laughing. This trip was just what the Doctor ordered.

There is not a week that goes by that someone in the family doesn’t start reminiscing about what a wonderful experience our vacation was. Although we each took away something different from our wilderness adventure, I was thrilled we were able to experience it together as a family. Your guides were nothing short of exceptional and outstanding! I can not say enough about your obvious philosophy on how to treat your customers.

Our guides were all exceptional! …treated Tom and me like family members. They celebrated Tom’s birthday with pancakes in the morning and a Dutch oven cake with candles for dessert that evening. Thank you for an amazing family vacation.

Rafting on the Grande Ronde was really nice. And bears, snakes, eagles, etc. made it all the more memorable. My kids had a great time! Musically, it was the bet yet. Thanks again for your vision of putting a jazz float on your itinerary.
D. Mendenhall, Lakeville, MN (2011)
“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)
I had to write as soon as we were back to let you know what an amazing time we just had. It was probably the most wonderful experience we have had as a family. Everyone loved every minute. The whole trip exceeded even our best expectations and created memories for us and the children that will last a lifetime. Buzz and Hugh were both absolutely fantastic, as guides, chefs, and cocktail mixers!! Thank you so much to everyone for creating just the most spectacular 4 days. We love the Salmon and it’s wonderful beaches, rapids and stunning views and will be back one day to try out the Middle Fork. The food was delicious…. Expect lots of enquiries from London as we will be definitely recommending Hughes River to all our friends!!
