Why it works

The Salt River Canyon is one of the premier whitewater destinations in the Southwest, with Class III-IV rapids through a spectacular canyon that rivals the Grand Canyon in scenery — a dedicated river map with rapid locations, access points, and shuttle detail is essential for planning multi-day float trips. The canyon's remote character means accurate navigation is critical for safety. Waterproof construction is essential for river use where maps are constantly exposed to water.

Ideal for

Rafters, kayakers, and adventurers exploring the Salt River Canyon's whitewater in Arizona. See also NGTI850 (Mazatzal & Pine Mountain Wilderness) for adjacent Arizona wilderness coverage.
