About This Trip
We are currently only offering our 5 Day Salt River Trip to inquiries. Give us a call if you’re interested in a private trip and departure dates!
Explore the magnificence on our Salt River rafting five day trip! This remote, wilderness canyon is mostly only accessible by raft, not road. By day, experience world-class whitewater (Class I, II, III, and IV rapids) amidst intriguing geology, desert wildflowers, incredible multi-armed saguaros, soaring eagles, and ruins.
By night, experience the serenity of the glow and crackling of the campfire, delicious food, and sleeping under millions of stars. If you have the luxury of time, you will relish each day’s experience, exploring side hikes up canyons and relaxing in the inaccessible section of the river.
