Hughes River Expeditions

Testimonials

Middle Fork of the Salmon River

Thanks again for sharing your summer with our families. You made a special time and place more special.

P. Vial, Seattle, WA (2009)

Thank you again for a great trip! It was a real privilege to be in such a beautiful place with wonderful people. The guy playing the flugel horn was fantastic too!

P. Brown, Seattle WA (2009)

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.

Thank you for another outstanding trip. You guys always go the extra mile to make these trips awesome! Buzz, Aaron, Marshall, Matt, and Colin were fabulous guides (as always)! The company, the food, and the wilderness – you couldn’t ask for anything better! Thank you so very much! I would so much like to be back on the river, listening to the calming (and rushing) water, soaking up the sun and fresh air, enjoying the solitude and peacefulness …with good friends.

M. Proce, Knoxville, MD (2009)

We had a blast and enjoyed the true wilderness experience thanks again for everything.

R. Stephens, Pasadena, CA (2010)

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.

C. Staresinich, Centreville, VA (2010)

Thanks for the great river trip. The people on the trip and the guides were wonderful and entertaining. Food was fantastic, and of course, the scenery and fishing were great. On a scale of 1-10 I give the trip a 15!… Hope to see you on the river next year… Run river run!

D. Ambrose, Ellensburg, WA (2010)

Great trip, I wish I was back on the river… aloha…

B. Wiggins, Honolulu, HI (2010)

Thanks so much for a great trip down the Middle Fork! Please relay my gratitude to all the guides who worked so hard on this trip. The rafting was wonderful as was the food and friendship. Sean and I are coming back next year with my parents and all three of my sons, the week of July 8th. Hope to see you then.

D. Mulkey, Athens, GA (2010)

We had a wonderful time in July on the Middle Fork. You had a great group of guides. We would like to go ahead and reserve the July 4th week of 2012 if it is not already taken. I will get you names of the participants as we get closer to the date.
