Happy Holidays from the Hughes Crew

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.
