Phoenix River Rafting - Salt River
SALT RIVER -- ARIZONA
Enjoy white water rafting in the Phoenix area in just one day!
Looking for the best place to go white water rafting near Phoenix, Arizona? Believe it or not, you only have to drive 1.5 hours eastward to find Phoenix river rafting opportunities on the Salt River. Float between rising canyon walls covered in spectacular Saguaro cacti that are a classic icon of the Sonoran Desert. Phoenix river rafting day trips are offered on the Salt River by the experts at Wilderness Aware, a top notch rafting outfitter on the Salt River.
While the rest of the white water rafting world waits for the snow to melt, you can enjoy Salt River rafting trips as early as February and into June, before summer temperatures soar. When it does warm up, enjoy a splash in the river, or in the hidden waterfall oasis on a side hike on a Phoenix river rafting adventure.
