My name is Tom Anderson better known in the white water world as Chicago. I have worked as a raft guide on over 15 different rivers around the world and I have to say the Salt River is by far one the most unique
rivers I have traveled down. we (salt river guides) call it the"budget grand canyon" due to it's similar scenery. The white water has perfect class 3 rapids. A happy medium, no need to worry of death defying rapids, perfect for a family adventure.
The Salt River is 1 of 3 rivers I know of that are commercially rafted during this time of year. Spring time, and with this beautiful change of weather brings out a diverse set of wild flowers that overwhelm this desert enviroment in central Az.
And only makes sence to go with the pros Salt River Rafting has a great operation and there is only one way to find out. Salt River 2010 season cross your fingers and hope to see ya there.

As a first time rafter, I had no idea how much fun I would have on the Salt River. I thought I would be nervous, but the rapids were SO fun and splashy, and our guide Bean was awesome. The scenery was unexpected, too; what a beautiful canyon. I'm so glad that my family talked me into it, because it was seriously one of the best things I have ever done in my life. Thanks SRR! :)
