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.
At the adventure’s end near Apache Road 1, we’ll hike up 800 feet for 2 miles to Apache Road 1, where you’ll take a scenic (and very exciting) shuttle back to your vehicle.
Salt River rafting two day trips start at $549.00.

Kim Furry2024-10-27 Miles gave my team a fantastic tour! Lois Weddle2024-10-27 Jay was a fun and educated guide to Mesa Verde! Thank you Alissa Troike2024-10-26 It was great. Miles was incredible. Highly recommend!!! Tom Evans2024-10-25 Great trip to the old mining operations north of Silverton. Very enjoyable. Vicky Guggino2024-10-19 Miles was our guide for both the 1/2 day Jeep Tour out of Silverton and the Mesa Verde Discovery Tour. He did a great job driving, and the history he told us about was amazing. He also gave great dinner suggestions after both tours! Terrye Gorman2024-10-17 It was super. Our tour guide Miles was awesome. Sarah Mcanally2024-10-15 The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to help meet our dates and needs. Their Jeeps were in great condition and took us to see parts of the untouched countryside that I have never seen before. We will certainly use them again on our next trip to Durango. Jane Turpen2024-10-12 We took a jeep trip up into the mountains to enjoy the fall scenery. The colors were beautiful, our guide,Jay, was excellent, and our group of six was great! We even saw them on our train trip back to Durango. There were some health issues for one traveler and a fear of heights for another. Jay was just terrific in handling both! He was caring but didn’t make a big issue of either. Just took the time to make sure everyone was doing okay and made it a good experience for all. It was a terrific day! Margot Wacks2024-10-12 We booked the guided Mesa Verde trip for our family of four. Our guide was Lee, he was INCREDIBLE!!! A wealth of knowledge, kind, considerate, engaging, and wonderful with our two small children (7 and 10) who at times have endless questions. He really made the history come alive for all of us and definitely made the trip a fun historical adventure! He was just wonderful to work with and made the entire experience one we will never forget. This was our first experience with a guided tour and we will definitely do this again. Not having to worry about driving, navigating the park traffic, getting lost, or not making it to the our scheduled palace tour on time was a huge relief. Everything was planned for us, including lunch. We just had to show up and enjoy!
