“John and I wish to tell you again how much we appreciate all your care and generosity. You have provided a “treasure” for us to savor for years to come.”
S. & J. Broderick, Bend, OR (2016)
Just a quick note to tell you that our group that participated in the July 8th Middle Fork trip had the trip of our lives. All the experiences will never be forgotten. Your guides were the most professional I’ve ever been on a trip with. Everything from the safety first approach to the great meals was first class. Thanks for the great time!

Thanks again for an absolutely spectacular experience. Great guides, food, stories,… points of interest, guests, camps, and float…. The perfect crew.

As I drove home from Lewiston, I allowed myself to bathe in the memories of our family river float trip….kids enjoy the paddleboat, the kayaks, the hikes, the swims, the football, the leaping off columnar basalt into a most refreshing pool, spotting of wildlife…. the most remarkable of which were a group of Bighorn sheep performing a dance for us on a beach…river games the last night, the wonderful meals…fly fishing…. I wanted to get back to you with my expression of gratitude and recognition of the incredible dedication and hard work exhibited by the crew.

A 62 year old woman from NY who expected to travel down the Salmon River in an oar boat, but jumped into a duckie and experienced the river in a way she never imagined. Feeling deeply grateful to have shared this extraordinary adventure with such a special group of wonderful people!

“Being in the Jazz Business, I’ve used Johnny Mercer to describe my 6 days with you guys on the Middle Fork (Jazz Trip). “Too Marvelous for Words.”
M. Samball, Boise, ID (2016)
The boys worked so very hard to make our river experience a truly memorable one!!…I didn’t feel we were able to give them a proper good-bye! This being my only regret of a near-perfect trip; you have a great group working for you and we can’t wait to join you again soon.
C & J Nichols, Manhattan Beach, CA (2005)
Our family was extremely pleased by our trip! ….We enjoyed all the guides. They are fun loving, very cooperative group and so nice to our children…Each guide was a unique and accomplished individual – it was great to get to know them all…your staff became family.
D. Mubarak, Tomah, WI (2006)
I want to thank you for a great time on the river! It was a fantastic experience for me! It turned out to be all that I expected,…and much more!…I am planning on returning next year with my family!… I think the Salmon River Canyon trip, same as we just took with Capital associates, would be perfect for us.
