About This Trip

Our Salt River rafting two day trip gives you all the Class III and IV whitewater you could want with a night of catered camping in between. This 24 mile section includes the full day stretch and the amazing scenery down to Gleason Flats.

After a day paddling it out in the froth, you’ll enjoy a fully catered camping experience with a fresh 3 course dinner, gorgeous hikes, and the best stargazing Arizona has to offer. The next day promises for a delicious breakfast before heading back for more salty suds through the canyon’s dramatic scenery.

Salt River rafting two day trips start at $549.00.
