The Salt River Canyon Wilderness Area contains approximately 32,100 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.
Transportation is mainly by river raft in the canyon. A Recreation Opportunity Guide for experienced river-runners is available from the Globe Ranger Station. This Recreation Opportunity Guide provides information about the river, including descriptions of the rapids.
