Salt River Canyon Arizona - Whitewater Rafting Trip!
Multi-day Salt River trips provide an opportunity for a total
escape. Experience world-class whitewater, fascinating geology, giant Saguaro
cactus, Indian ruins, and desert canyons carpeted in Sonoran Desert
wildflowers. The Salt River Canyon is truly a hidden treasure of the southwest.
Combine several of the Salt River's best whitewater sections
into an unforgettable multi-day journey where you'll experience the enjoyment
of wilderness overnight camping by the scenic Salt River.
Two-day trips include two days of the Salt River Canyon
Full-Day section and riverside
camping. Three
and five day trips
travel farther and deeper into the grandeur of the Salt River Canyon system.
Remote, inaccessible Jumpoff Canyon and the Goosenecks offer abundant riverside
campsites that are accessible only by raft. Hear and feel the roar of exciting
class IV rapids such as Quartzite Falls, Black Rock, The Maze, and Corkscrew.
The Salt River is one of the most unique rivers in the
country. Its location on the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau is at the
crossroads of mountain and desert ecosystems, resulting in a striking variety
of plant, animal and bird life. You'll descend through oak and
piñon-juniper woodlands into the stunning Lower Sonoran desert with its
towering multi-armed saguaro cactus. Several side canyon hikes lead to
oasis-like microhabitats that are a delight to explore.
