As you enter the Lower Canyon of the
Salt River wildlife sightings and natural wonders are around every corner. Just
after Cliff Hanger Rapid (class III) river right a Giant Saguaro cactus thought
to be over 200 years old can be seen from the river. Futher down river around
Horseshoe Bend you will find a nice beach for lunch in the presence of a
Crested Saguaro. The Crested Saguaro is a very rare cactus with only 800 known
specimens in the state of Arizona. Keep you voice down as you pass through a
"No Stop Zone" and you might be treated to an aerial display of our national
symbol the Bald Eagle. This is one of four nesting sites of the Desert Bald
Eagle found on the Salt River. Printer friendly souvenir-quality
