Salmon River Guides
fun, safe professional guides make your trip
River Time Guide Service is blessed to have
a staff that well-traveled adventure guests from around the world have labeled
"the best guides they have ever had". Part of this sentiment may stem from each
guide's amazing ability to captain rafts down wild rivers. Other feelings may
come from the gourmet meals that they creatively create. But our guess, and one
that is supported by comments like the one above from the thousands of guests
with whom these guides have shared wilderness trips, is their absolute kindness
and consideration is what sets them apart. We invite you to meet a few here and
come see for yourself.

TERRY
HUGHES |
 |
Terry Hughes, the owner of and
a lead guide for River Time Guide Service, is the hardest working man this side
of the Mississippi river. Terry's love of the outdoors and Salmon River and the
desire to share this with his guests is fueled by an unseen force that propels
him into a happy hard worker (rumor has it that two gallons of coffee in the
morning may be part of that force). And, Terry, the author of the River Time
philosophy that RTGS operates from, does know how to relax, especially around a
campfire where his sleepy sense of humor will wake you up! |

KIM
FAWCETT |
 |
Kim Fawcett's parents have
every reason to be proud, figuring that they always wanted a kid who is nice,
sincere, honest, laid back, considerate and charming. Not only that but the
kayak trips they took with her when she wasn't big enough to pick out her
favorite toothpaste seemed to have left an impression. For Kim is a natural at
leading river trips and other adventures. And, she is a bomber mountain biker.
Her quick smile and contagious laugh are indescribably nice. When you have had
a chance to experience all of this and her humble and down to earth manner, you
will understand why we suggested you spend time with her. Oh, about that
toothpaste. She also has really nice teeth. |

"Thanks for giving my family a vacation to
remember. I must admit I was skeptical about the trip at first- given all my
trips into the wilderness. This trip met and exceeded all my expectations. Your
professionalism, creativity and leadership were a joy to watch. I am so happy
that my family had a chance to see what a real outfitter acts likes and what a
pleasant experience it can be when things are done right. Thanks too for taking
such good care of my family."
