One of the top ten multi-day raft trips in the U.S! The Salt River Canyon Wilderness was federally protected in 1984 to preserve this premier river experience.  This 52 mile adventure includes stout Class IV rapids such as Black Rock, The Maze, Quartzite Falls and Corkscrew Rapid. Cibecue, Walnut, Hess and Yankee Joe side canyons contain quite pools and waterfalls supporting over 200 species of birds along with desert dwellers such as Coati, Javalina, Big Horn Sheep and Gila Monsters. The majestic Sonoran Desert fauna of countless wildflowers, Ocotillo, Sotol and towering Saguaro are complimented by the exotic geology of 1.4 billion year old granite and 800 year old Salado Indian Ruins. Trips are restricted to a maximum of 11 guest enhancing the solitude and serenity of one of the few remaining stretches of free flowing river in the southwest. Rental camping gear is available and dietary concerns met upon request.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the Salt River Raft Trip?

A: Yes, the Salt River Rafting trips are generally for participants ages 12 and up because of the Class IV rapids. They recommend this age limit due to the physical demands and safety concerns associated with the rough waters. If you have younger kids, you might want to consider other family-friendly rafting options.

Q: What should I wear for the Salt River Raft Trip? Any tips?

A: For the trip, wear quick-dry clothing, a swimsuit, and water shoes if you have them! A hat and sunglasses are also great since you'll be out in the sun. Don't forget sunscreen! It can get hot in the desert, but you might want a light jacket for the evenings as it cools down.

Q: What if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule?

A: If there's severe weather, they usually cancel for safety reasons. You can get a reschedule for a later date or possibly a full refund if it’s a last-minute cancellation. Just check their policy directly after you book to be sure!

Thinking of gifting the Salt River Raft Trip, anyone done it?

I'm considering this trip for my husband’s birthday. He loves the outdoors and I heard the scenery is breathtaking, especially with the wildlife! I just worry about the rapids, he's not the strongest swimmer. Can anyone share their thoughts or experiences?

Just did the Salt River Raft Trip—totally epic!

Wow, the Salt River Trip was beyond what I expected! The rapids were intense but so much fun. We saw a ton of wildlife too, including some bighorn sheep! The food was great, and I was super impressed with how well they handle everything. Highly recommend if you're thinking about it!
