Salt River Canyon Wilderness

Located in the Tonto National Forest in Arizona.

This wilderness contains approximately 32,100 very rugged acres and was established in 1984. The Salt River and its spectacular canyon bisect the wilderness for its entire length. Elevations range from 2,200 feet at the canyon's lower end to 4,200 feet on White Ledge Mountain. This area can be visited practically any time, however there are no maintained trails within the entire wilderness. Travel is basically done by raft or kayak during the short and dangerous river-running season. Information is available from the Tonto National Forest Supervisor's Office in Phoenix and the Globe Ranger. A Recreation Opportunity Guide is available which gives directions to river access points and describes the rapids along the river.
