Overview

The best of both worlds. Close proximity to the city, yet worlds apart! Active but relaxing all at the same time. Most people think of sand when you go to the desert but on this trip it's water! Enjoy the scenery of cactus lining the banks of the desert scape while kayaking the Lower Salt River from Phon D Sutton to Granite Reef recreational areas.
