Mark and I wanted to thank each of you for an incredible trip this year. As you know, we have done many, many rafting trips and we all agreed that this one was one of the best if not the best we have ever done. The reason that it was so amazing was all of you! Thanks for hanging tough with our unruly group and leading us all on a fun filled and certainly action packed adventure!

You have put together a terrific group, beginning with Kim in the office and extending to the field staff. The guides were wonderfully professional, going well beyond what was needed just to do their jobs. The River and it environs are magnificent, and the commentary, friendliness and support of the individual guides enhanced the experience considerably.

“Thanks for an amazing trip! We will celebrate it our entire lives!”

Our family just returned from the July 20-23 Salmon River Canyon trip. This was our first experience camping and whitewater rafting. I needed not to be apprehensive for our safety. Your guides were knowledgeable, strong, and experienced… The trip was fun, exciting, and beautiful. Thank you for providing such a quality experience.

As you may have guessed, our expectations with regard to rafting the Middle Fork of the Salmon were extremely high and, to a person, your organization exceeded these expectations on our float last week. I want to commend you on your exceptional planning and the faultless execution of the plan.

I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our time on the Salmon with your folks last week. It was a typical Hughes experience and exceeded all expectations. The river, the food, the guides, the camp sites and accommodations, the gear, the extra libations, the fishing, etc. were simply outstanding! We’ve had great guides on other trips, but Travis, Ben, and John raised the standard to a completely different level…Jerry, you should feel great about the customer experience you provide for your guests.

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.

We are home again and still rocking a little bit from riding down the Middle Fork. It was a great trip made especially pleasant because all of your staff were first class. They gave us great confidence in the river and then took excellent care of us ashore. I gained four pounds. Summed up, our first river experience was wonderful. I’m only sorry we waited twenty five years from our first plan to ride “The River of No Return”.
D. King, San Francisco, CA (1990)
Thanks for a fantastic trip. You run a first class operation and I feel very fortunate to have been a part of this trip.
M. Gordon, Canmore, Alberta (2013)
We are so grateful to you, Colin, Hughes Crew, and good companions for the memorable Owyhee float. We expected an experience of a lifetime, and our wish came true! The Owyhee River is not to be missed (even if a 10 year wait for water is necessary). And we will also pass the word that this area is worthy of protection.
