Client Testimonials

We had the most amazing time and I wanted you to know what an amazing crew. They each had something unique and special that added to the trip…. I only wish the trip had lasted another week or two. Can’t thank you all enough… Also loved the food.
B. Rochelle, Encinitas, CA (2013)
(We) just got home from Stanley, where we spent three lovely days trying to prolong the magic of our Middle Fork journey. Being back in New Jersey, we feel a sad ache in our hearts missing the beautiful river, mountains, and the new friends we made….Thanks so much. The power of the wilderness and the river will stay with us for a long, long time.
M. Elliott, Skillman, NJ. (2012)
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.
R. Quinly (2019)
Thank you for a wonderful raft trip! There are so many important ways that you, as individuals and a group made it the best experience anyone could have. Of course, the food, facilities, organization and expertise were impressive. What really made it a special trip was you people personally. Each one of you work so hard and cheerfully, clearly like and enjoy one another, and freely give of yourselves in thoughtful ways… you can bet I’ll recommend you highly to anyone considering a raft trip.
J. Elder, Olympia, WA (2005)
Hi all!  The trip was great!  Thank you!
Johnson, Pacific Palisades, CA (2021)
Nita and I loved the trip on the Middle Fork – Nita’s second trip with Hughes – my third. The guests and guides made it extra special. We enjoyed meeting Colin – he was great! We’d met Aaron and Ryan 4 years ago. Ryan’s hair was awesome. We spent a lot of time with Buzz – great guy who gave us some good book reading recommendations. Marshall and Barker are kicks! We are going to plan the Grande Ronde next summer.
C. Staresinich, Centreville, VA (2010)
How do I begin to share my gratitude for such a lovely river experience on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. What an exquisite river. And what wonderful hosts you all were in really helping to make it so memorable. We appreciate all the effort you put in so that we had the time to soak up the beauty and quiet.
R. Movich, Enterprise, OR (2011)
Thanks again for sharing your summer with our families. You made a special time and place more special.
P. Vial, Seattle, WA (2009)
Jack, Pat, and I are still smiling after a WONDERFUL trip.  I’m always sure that I’ll have fun on a river trip but this one exceeded my expectations.  … (T)he guides were terrific. … We can’t wait to get out on the water again.
Chestnutt, Evergreen, CO (2021)
I just wanted to tell you that Emily and I had a super good time on the river last week!…Your guides, as always, were superb! We enjoyed each one…We doubled the tip we planned to give them because they were all so impressive..You can plan on our business again next year on the Middle Fork…
