Middle Fork of the Salmon River
As expected, the trip down the Middle Fork was wonderful…my boys were in heaven for 6 days and the crew was very good… (5 trips with you over the last 17 years… time goes by way too fast).
My family and I took a trip on the Middle Fork June 13-17…everything about it was terrific! I’ve run a number of rivers through the years with different companies and this was absolutely the best experience yet. The guides were so helpful, the equipment was first rate…You should be proud of your company and all those who work with you, it’s an impressive outfit.
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!
My kids and I were lucky enough to take a six-day river trip with Hughes on the Middle Fork of the Salmon July 16-21. We had heard so many good things about your company over the years that my expectations were set very high. They were exceeded in every respect. Our guides made the trip even better. We feel luck to have experienced the river with such good people. My 16-year-old son had a blast and said it was the best trip of his life. My 12-year-old daughter did not want to be on any river, for any reason, at any time and she ended up having an “awesome” trip…We can count her as a convert. Words are really insufficient to match the experience, but in short it was amazing, incredibly fun and moving. We will never forget it.
We just completed our sixth trip with Hughes, and it was terrific! I always think I might grow tired of these trips one day, but it hasn’t yet happened. Kim and I will probably be 90 years old and asking for walker accommodations onshore…Thanks again for a great trip! You’re the very best.
How fortunate we all were to be with Hughes on this biggest adventure of our lives. When the 6 of us got back to Boise last Thursday night, we agreed it was the best vacation we had ever had. Thank you for providing the ingredients that made it so wonderful. Your boatman crew is superb… The food was over-the-top good…. We never felt rushed – the pieces of each day seemed to fit just right… We learned so many new things and were challenged to try things we’d never done. What a memory we will cherish.
Thanks again to you and your crew for a great trip August 9-14.
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!
