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 $549.00.

We had a great visit to Mesa Verde with our guide Cat. It saved us from driving the winding roads and we got a lot of insider knowledge. Food and drinks were provided and we had a nice small group of 6. Picking up in Mancos was easy. And Cat even took photos and videos for us. The Cliff Palace tour was very doable and worthwhile.

The trip down the river and the entire staff did a great job. Lori Imeson2025-08-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Jeep tour in the area of Silverton. Jay was funny and very knowledgeable about the area. Enjoyed a moose sighting, and a bit of rockhounding while taking in the amazing views. If given the opportunity, ask for Jay.
