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.

We had a blast on our trip up La Plata Canyon to Kennebec Pass. Our guide Alex was hilarious, knowledgeable, and a skilled driver. He was very accommodating, knew all the best places to stop, and was an expert photographer. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Jude MansellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul took us on an amazing adventure up the La Plata canyon.

He even gave us $4 for the trolley (we didn't end up needing it).Posted on Google Tiffany HagenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our trip down the Animas River with Sammy K. as our guide. The water is low so we couldn't avoid getting stuck, but she navigated us so it didn't happen too much.Posted on Google Anna NickensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a blast!! Anthony was our guide and he was awesome. He was patient with us, explained everything well, and made sure we were all taking in the beauty around us too.
