that Mike says he likes the most about working for Hells Canyon
Adventure is the people, his co-workers and most of all the

it is 100 degrees. Butch and his wife, Karen, own Temperance
Creek in Hells Canyon. They provide guided hunting tours
throughout Hells Canyon. Butch and Karen have been married for
36 years and have two kids. Karen is an amazing cook! You can

Molly Egbert-
Deckhand |
This is my first season onboard with Hells
Canyon Adventures and it is in addition to my off season job of
teaching Science. I have been enjoying the Hells Canyon area
for many years with my family- fishing, boating and hunting. I
love the different seasons in the canyon, and the history but
most of all I love the geology. I am always in awe at the forces
that made the canyon and no matter how many times I look around,
I always seem to find something new to bring back and share with
my students. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening,
fishing/boating, and reading about the history of the canyon. |

history of the canyon and he also has some great personal
stories about living in the area. When Art is not guiding on the

Dillon Yates - Guide |
I was born and raised
in Council, Idaho. I have worked for HCA since 2004. This is my third

Mark Yates - Boat Captain
|
I was three years old
when I was introduced to boats and they have been in my blood
ever since. During the 60's my family owned and built Beismeyer
fiberglass boats. I still own a 16 foot inboard jet boat built
in 1960 by my uncle and father. I had to put my love for boating
on hold for many years while I raised my children on our family
ranch in Council, Idaho. In 2001 I became involved with Hells
Canyon Adventures. I really enjoy meeting the large variety of
customers we have from all over the world and working alongside
the crew at HCA is amazing! |
