SALT RIVER RAFTING VEHICLE SHUTTLE
Shuttle Service for Private Upper Salt River Rafting
Shuttle Service for your private Salt River rafting trip in Arizona!
Arizona Rafting is a licensed Salt River shuttle operator offering information for private kayakers and rafters planning an Upper Salt River Canyon non-commercial trip.
This form is for Hwy 60 Bridge to Hwy 288 Bridge shuttles only! If you would like to request a shuttle from Hwy 60 to Camp 2 or Hoodoos, you must call our office at 800.231.7238.
IMPORTANT: We HIGHLY recommend making a reservation for your shuttle. Office hours during the season are Monday – Friday, from 8 am – 5 pm (MST/Colorado). If your shuttle request is within the next 24 hours, please call instead of submitting this form. If your request is within the next 24 hours AND it is outside of our office hours, you will need to meet up with our Salt River Manager to set up your shuttle at our office near the Hwy 60 Bridge (no phones or email here, just show up between 8:30 am – 10:30 am or 3 pm – 4:00 pm AZ time.
If possible, meet up with our operations manager at our office located in the parking area across from the private boater put-in area at the bottom of the Salt River Canyon. If NO manager is present to deliver your key to, we have two boxes attached to our office for private vehicle shuttles. One box contains liability forms and key tags; use one for each vehicle to be shuttled. The lockbox is to drop off your keys (with competed key tag attached).
If you have more than one vehicle to be shuttled use the key tags—available on our office trailer—to identify your vehicle. Attach your keys and drop them in the lockbox on the office trailer. Leave one completed liability per vehicle on the driver seat of your vehicle. It’s a good idea to leave a list of all vehicles in your party so we move the correct vehicles on the correct day.
You must fill out a vehicle shuttle liability release for EACH vehicle, and give it to our office manager or leave it in the vehicle. We will not run your shuttle without a completed liability form.
If you have questions about your permit contact the White Mountain Apache Game and Fish Department at 928-338-4385.
