Enjoy a day of fun and relaxation on a float trip through Tonto National Forest with your Phoenix Redbirds! Just a short drive from Phoenix, in Mesa, Arizona, the Salt River is a recreational paradise that offers “chills and thrills” while floating on the cool and refreshing mountain-stream waters.
Enjoy a “floating picnic” and experience the natural wonders of the Salt River such as wild horses, blue herons, bald eagles, and majestic mountains. We will rally at the tube station for a three-hour trip.
