Important Considerations
· The Salt River Canyon is a wilderness area. Thus, electricity, running water or cellular phone service is nada!
· We can only communicate from our main office via Satellite communication to the Salt River guides, which means our communication is limited. Plan accordingly when traveling to the river. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated.
· Wetsuits are included on all of our Salt River Trips. Wear your swimsuit to the river under your clothes.
· Age limits may increase at high water levels. This will be communicated to you prior to your trip if it becomes an issue.
· We have river goodies and souvenirs for sale! We are only running credit cards for the shop, but feel free to bring cash to tip your guide!
· The meet location is about 50 miles from the nearest towns of Globe and Show Low, be sure to have enough gas to get there!
· Expect the Salt River Canyon to be about 10 degrees cooler than Phoenix.
· All itineraries are subject to change due to water conditions.
