The Salt River is the largest tributary off of Arizona’s raging Gila River, and has become a popular destination for outdoor fun. In addition to being used for irrigation and drinking water, enterprising rafters drift down its 200 miles in all kinds of vehicles. If you don’t have a tube of your own, Mesa’s Salt River Tubing can hook you up. Located at a prime spot to drop into the river, they’ll rent you a large, comfortable truck tube for fifteen bucks, with smaller models available for kids. Even better, paying them means that they’ll pick you up from one of several outlet points and drive you back to your car, saving you some hassle at the end of the day.
