Itinerary
Meet us at our Salt River satellite location on the Fort Apache Reservation between Globe and Show Low, AZ. Once there, you'll sign waivers and suit up for the river! If you're rafting with us in March or April, you'll probably have a wetsuit included with your reservation. After suiting up, you’ll walk down to the river with your guides, have a safety orientation, and hop in the boats and go. Be ready to tackle 5 miles of fun whitewater! You can expect constant class II and class III throughout the entire trip. Class II rapids are “fun and friendly” rolling over the bow and splashing the folks in the front of the boat. Class III rapids are “wet and fun” soaking everyone head to toe. After a couple of hours, we’ll take out at our established camp to shuttle you back to your vehicle.
