Customer Experience
We just wanted to send you a note to tell you what a wonderful time our family had during our trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River on August 17th-22nd. We could not have asked for a better group of guides. Each and every one – Joel, Marshall, Aaron, Bob, Ryan, David and Eric was terrific. The guides worked and played continuously to provide our family with an unforgettable experience. The patience they had, and the rapport they displayed, with all three of our sons was unbelievable. We found your company to be first rate, from the guides, to the equipment, to the food. The entire journey was well organized and stress free. Thank you for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We hope to travel with you again in the future; our kids are already asking to do the Hells Canyon trip!

We had a fantastic time. The Selway is a real Jewel. The guides were great and we enjoyed having the chance to get to know Colin.

Our families had a great, great time. The Middle Fork and the 6 days out gave individuals and families a time to gain a sense of perspective and reconfirmed unity. I could go on and on about the benefits… but you all know them. Aren’t we fortunate?

Please convey to Carole, to Jerry, and to all the wonderful guides and staff, my appreciation for a truly first-class trip on the Middle Fork. It really did exceed my already high expectations and I look forward to doing it again someday.

What a GREAT TRIP! Your crew did a super job of showing us the Middle Fork and all it’s points of interest. Serving us 5 star meals, accommodations and service… The kids all had a great time and I think have a little more appreciation for the beauty we have right here in our back country of Idaho.

I want to thank you for the trip you put together for our group in July. We had a great time…Ashley, Fred, Ryan, Eric, and Hugh Cooke are all great and took very good care of us. With the four 7-9 year olds, Ashley sort of got turned into a childcare boat and the recreational manager, along with her other responsibilities, and the kids all loved her. Each time we do a rafting trip your people make it a memorable event and please pass along our thanks.

Want to thank you for the best river experience ever! The kind, knowledgeable guides and delicious food plus the scenery of the Middle Fork were all amazing. We plan to sign up for a 2017 trip down the Lower Salmon!

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful time we had floating the Middle Fork. The guides were terrific!

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.

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.
