The guides were all beyond great… everyone went above and beyond to make the trip a memorable one. …I enjoyed Colin’s knowledge of the geology, wild life, land management and Idaho history… Dave, Aaron, Josh, and John’s campfire songs and games could not have been funnier or more entertaining. My kids will remember the trip for that alone! I also really appreciated the wisdom and years of experience of Buzz and Bob…. My 9 year old was beyond thrilled that Buzz let her help make a birthday cake… just one more of many, many wonderful memories of this trip. We hope to be back for another trip…

I want to express my sincere appreciation to you and your crew at Hughes River Expeditions for a first-class trip down the Salmon River last week…. (It) left me with a strong desire to trade in the tie and computer for a kayak and oar!
R. Sherwood, Portland, OR (1991)
As you may have guessed, our expectations with regard to rafting the Middle Fork of the Salmon were extremely high and, to a person, your organization exceeded these expectations on our float last week. I want to commend you on your exceptional planning and the faultless execution of the plan.

What I really wanted to write about is how, once again, the guides were what made the trip. Of course the river, the rapids, the scenery, the food, etc. was stupendous, but the collection of extraordinary people is what we’ll remember most. They all work incredibly hard but never made any of us feel they are inconvenienced. They not only made lifelong memories for us but really have played a part in the development of our children. Their gift will always be treasured. I’ll let them tell you … Read more
