Rafting The Salt River Canyon
1-day rafting & Inflatable Kayak arizona river trips

 

1 Day Itinerary

Meet at base camp at your designated time. Complete check in, load camp bags and get dressed for the river. (We recommend wetsuit and wetsuit boots for March to Mid-April trips, otherwise just wetsuit boots).

Receive safety orientation and boating instruction, then hit the river for the rapids of "Baptism", "Island', "Kiss and Tell", "Bump and Grind", "Grumman", "Mother Rock", and "Overboard Rapid". Stop for lunch at "Second Camp" and enjoy a hot grilled lunch prepared by our staff. Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic beauty! After lunch, hold on and paddle hard as you hit "Exhibition", "Cibecue", "Three Way" and the exhilarating "Mescal Falls" - hang on! Upon reaching the take out at "Hoodoo" we will have entered the Upper Sonoran Desert and descended over 200 feet. If time allows we will stop for a short hike up Cibecue Canyon to view majestic waterfalls.

Your shuttle back to your car is via the scenic and spectacular Apache Road 1, paralleling the river and allowing you a chance to reflect on your journey as you view many of the day's rapids. Return to your car between 3:30pm and 4:30pm, depending on original departure time and water flows.

High Adventure Option

Been There, Done That, Try This!
Smaller, more responsive boats, and aggressive "go for it" lines, catapults the Salt River to a new level of adventure. These "go for it" boats hold up to 6 people plus your guide and should not be taken by the timid!

If you're ready for the ultimate challenge, take the river on one on one under the leadership of one of our instructional guides. This option should only be considered by the truly adventurous.
