What To Expect

Salt River

The best-known segment of the river (formally the Lower Salt River) is located about 40 minutes from downtown Phoenix in Mesa, where visitors and locals go to explore the beautiful Sonoran Desert landscape.

Tonto National Forest

The Lower Salt River is located within the Tonto National Forest. The Tonto National forest is home to over 400 vertebrate species and has a rich history of several prehistoric Indian groups who hunted and gathered along the Salt and Verde River.

Verde River

The Verde River begins just southwest of Flagstaff, AZ and continues 195 miles through private, federal, state, and tribal land before reaching its confluence with the Salt River.

Tall Mike did a phenomenal job of making our experience amazing. He was able to maneuver the raft in the water and kept us all safe while being able to enjoy the river. Mike knew the river and the wild life in and around the river. On our tour nature more than cooperated as we saw many things in the wild. We saw two bald eagles, many species of fish in the river, along with birds and wild horses. Words can not describe the views of the mountains and cliffs near and around the river. I must do for anyone visiting the area!!!

The guided raft trip was so relaxing. Although we had the ability to paddle, it was not necessary. As the guides are happy to do all the paddling and steering. We opted for this trip when we were unable to rent tubes outside of the weekend. This provided a much more enjoyable means to enjoy the Salt River. We were able to swim and get wet, but for those in our group that wanted to stay dry, that was very doable. The scenery along the Salt River is beautiful, and the guides were very knowledgeable but the highlight was seeing the wild horses.
