Your adventure begins at the meeting point off US‑60 near Chrysotile, Arizona, where you’ll check in, meet your guide, and go over a brief safety talk. You’ll then board our 6‑seat off‑road vehicles and ride as a passenger while your guide drives forest roads, canyon edges, and rocky tracks toward the Salt River. The route includes a mix of smoother dirt roads and rougher sections with bumps, ruts, and elevation changes, offering plenty of excitement along with sweeping views.
As you descend, the landscape transitions from cooler pine forests at higher elevations to classic Arizona desert with cacti and open vistas. At Gleason Flat, you’ll have time to get out of the vehicle, explore the riverbank, swim or wade if conditions allow, relax in the shade, and take photos of the river and surrounding cliffs. After your river stop, you’ll return to Chrysotile along the same scenic route.
