Salt River Rafting 2-Day Trip

White Water Rafting Phoenix, AZ

About This Trip

Our Salt River rafting two-day adventure covers 24 miles of wonderfully rugged scenery, where the rapids and geological gems are aplenty. This is the perfect trip for folks who want to see more of the Salt’s rare wilderness, while experiencing some of its most exciting whitewater.

The first day serves up plenty of Class II-IV suds, starting from the picturesque put-in along Primitive Road. You’ll stop for a delicious grilled steak lunch at our established camp, before heading downstream for the biggest rapids of the day. Camp that night is spread across a beautiful remote beach, where your guides will whip up a delectable 3-course dinner. Be ready for some of the best stargazing Arizona has to offer that night.

Day two starts with fresh coffee and breakfast, before heading back for more fun in the whitewater. The chasm’s scenery becomes more dramatic on this day, and by lunch you’ll have floated beneath the cliffs of polished granite in White Rock Canyon, and past the sacred salt banks that give the canyon its name.

Salt River rafting two day trips start at $649.00.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the Silverton Jeep Tour Package on 9/28/26 and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Tim, took us to picturesque landscapes while giving us knowledge of the history surrounding the mountains of Silverton, all while it was raining I should say. Plus we were able to see and experience first hand snow falling at a higher altitude. We were given ample time to shop around town before departing on the train back to Durango. Only minor thing I would critique was that the roof cover, for the 6 seats in back, was not 99.9% waterproof because their were water drops falling from the cover while it was raining but it was no biggie for us and part of the adventure to be honest (we were given waterproof blankets to cover our bodies from the beginning). PLEASE BRING LAYERS AS MENTIONED ON THEIR WEBSITE (YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THEM)!

She was so knowledgeable, answered questions and gave us so much to think about regarding Mesa Verde. The lunch provided was filling and there were plenty of refreshments offered throughout the day.
I highly recommend the full day tour! Visiting Cliff Palace is so worth it!
