• 5Fantastic experience on the water

  I visited the Phoenix area for a few days and decided to go out on the water on a whim. Great scenery, and lots of wild horses. Staff were very friendly and helpful with instructions. For the price, it was a unique and great experience! I went solo, but most of us stuck together at each junction. I would recommend going earlier in the day to avoid the tubers, and to wear sunscreen, a hat, and a sun shirt. I would definitely come back to try another route or tour :)

• 5Great experience for first time kayakers

  My first time kayaking and I really enjoyed this 2 hour self guided venture. Forgot how beautiful the Salt River is. Not difficult at all. Stay centered, stay straight, stay in the middle of the river and practice your paddling in the slower parts/lagoons of the river. Keep the oars close to the boat when paddling for better control and propulsion. Had a great time and highly recommend.

• 5Wonderful unique place.

  We had a wonderful stay at the saguaro lake guest ranch. The staff was so nice and helpful, the property is incredible and so beautifully preserved. This ranch is like stepping back in time, and we really enjoyed all of it. The food was wonderful, we found books to read on the many book shelves, we played board games, we enjoyed the pool, we kayaked on the salt river (2 hr tour), we rode horses, and my husband, daughter, and I enjoyed the trails just up the hill for early morning trail running. Saguaro lake is above the dam and a short drive; we checked out the beach there also. Great place to stay! We will be back.

About Phoenix

Phoenix is Arizona's desert capital, a sprawling Sonoran Desert city of saguaro cacti, museums, mountain parks and year-round sunshine.

Phoenix spreads across the Salt River Valley in the Sonoran Desert, ringed by mountains and dotted with saguaro cacti. Its name recalls the ancient Hohokam canals on which the settlers built. Camelback Mountain, a red sandstone peak shaped like a kneeling camel, rises in the east, and South Mountain Park is among the largest city parks in the United States. The Desert Botanical Garden shows cacti and desert flowers.
