Test your mettle with a heart-pounding experience at Mild to Wild Rafting Adventure, where the experienced guides will help you navigate the white water, and you'll leave with memories that will last a lifetime. Arizona is known for its early snowmelt, making it a perfect destination for whitewater rafting. The high desert scenery and wildlife make it a unique experience. You can even combine skiing and rafting. The Verde River is Arizona's only Federally designated Wild and Scenic river, and it's worth experiencing. You'll be treated to fantastic scenery and wildlife, including beaver, bear, and river otter. The rapids are perfect for guided rafting or inflatable kayaking under the supervision of our instructor.
