“Thank you for your help in making possible the celebration of my 67th birthday on the Salmon River…. I enjoy supporting and booking family run businesses like yours. From all the information about the trip, to help on gear list and lodging, you have made this planning fun and easy. You can tell that this is a first rate river expedition.”

We are easing back into the real world after a wonderful week on the Middle Fork. We had high expectations based on the experiences of friends who have floated with Hughes as well as your very own testimonials. And we found out that everyone – even you – understated it! This was a trip that will not soon be forgotten…I will remember my first-ever sighting of bighorn sheep, Bill will remember his first attempt at fly fishing and of course, there was the camaraderie, great food and total relaxation. It was a great feeling to be in a place where the only Blackberries one might find are the ones found on bushes. And the guides? Well, they are seven good reasons why your company has such an outstanding reputation. Not only are they experienced boatmen who put safety first, they show a reverence for the resource and remind us all how it is to be protected and treasured. And they are pretty good cooks, too! Thank you, Jerry and Carole, for taking such good care of us. I hope to enjoy another Hughes trip again soon.

I’d like to thank you and your entire team on a wonderful Idaho experience that only “Hughes” can provide. It’s an extraordinary place and I feel more than satisfied that we’ve seen something special and unique.

What a wonderful job you did… we are in awe of your efficiency and genuine love of nature, people, and your job. Spent lots of time sharing photos and trip stories with our friends.

Sure was great to meet everyone. Zoe and I felt very fortunate to be with such wonderful group of people rafting through paradise.

We had a fantastic time and will definitely be rafting with you again. The guides were great in every aspect and it made the trip that much more enjoyable. They exceeded our expectations and that was hard to do. The food was delicious and I never felt like I was missing out by being gluten-free… they even made cakes and brownies for me.

My husband and I just came out of the river this morning. We did a 6 day Middle Fork/Salmon float trip. The guides (Aaron, Buzz, Hardy, Josh, Robbie, Tony, and Travis), the boats, the camps, and the food were 5 stars. We rarely repeat trips. We would repeat this trip in a heartbeat. Thank you Hughes!

…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…
