The Hughes guide crew is shaped by a wonderful array of skills, backgrounds, and personalities. Many have worked with Hughes River Expeditions for 10 or more seasons. They are there to answer any questions you may have on your trip.

The mix includes pro ski patrollers, a college professor, lawyers, international guides, an antique collector, college students, high school teachers/coaches/administrators, a surgical nurse, graduate students, a naval officer (he only manages to make a couple of trips annually), an accountant, a chef, and a world class competitive kayaker. Ages range from 18 to 62.

The guides do the camp work and cooking, and the river menu is fantastic. Meals feature steaks, BBQ chicken & ribs, fresh fruits and vegetables, a variety of salads, and Dutch oven baking. There is unlimited potable water, and plenty of ice. You are welcome to bring any favorite beverages, and we provide a complimentary supply of fruit drinks, soda, beer and wine.
