WHY ARIZONA RAFTING

THE SALT RIVER
AT A GLANCE

SCENIC BEAUTY: The Salt River in Arizona offers breathtaking desert landscapes, including stunning canyons, cacti-studded cliffs, and rugged terrain, providing a unique and picturesque backdrop for your white water rafting adventure.

THRILLING RAPIDS: With a range of Class II to Class IV rapids, the Salt River provides an exhilarating and challenging experience for both novice and experienced rafters. Get your adrenaline pumping as you navigate through exciting twists and turns.

WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS: Alongside the thrill of rafting, the Salt River offers opportunities to spot a variety of wildlife, including eagles, herons, and even wild horses. It's a chance to connect with nature while enjoying the rush of white water rafting.

Was the water dangerous? Yes it was. Did I feel safe with my crew? Yes I did. With a snug life jacket you are about as likely to drown as a cork is to sink. My crew was fun and there were many laughs. Our guide was well educated and informative. The fajita lunch was great and enough to keep me full all day. I’ll definitely be doing this again next year!

Many Phoenix and Tucson residents join us each spring on our most popular trip—a full-day rafting adventure starting near the Highway 60 bridge between Globe and Show Low, Arizona.

Salt River, Arizona rafting rapids are rated Class III and IV. The Salt River drops an average of 25 feet-per-mile for over 50 miles through rocky, secluded canyons.

The river flows through oak and juniper woodlands into stunning Lower Sonoran Desert vegetation, with giant multi-armed saguaro cacti and a diversity of other vegetation.

Several side canyons reveal oasis-like microhabitats that are a lush reprieve from the prickly cactus environment.

Excellent scenic riverside campsites are abundant and accessible only by raft on a Salt River float trip.
