Celebrate a fabulous July Fourth weekend on the Lower Salt River with Salt River Tubing’s Bag It for Bucks, a Take Pride in America event, from Saturday, July 2 through Monday, July 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Salt River Tubing, KISSFM 104.7, KMLE Country 108 and LIVE 101.5 radio stations will encourage floaters to lend a hand and stash their picnic trash in the free litter bags distributed by Salt River Tubing employees. Enjoy a memorable July Fourth and express your patriotic pride by keeping the Salt River clean and beautiful.
Free patriotic leis will also be distributed to the first 1,000 tubers on July Fourth.
Salt River Tubing will distribute Firecracker Bucks—a $7 tube rental discount coupon as a token of appreciation for floaters’ conservation efforts while stashing and bagging their picnic trash in litter bags. Tubers can trade in full litter bags at the end of their floating adventure for the rental discount coupon on their next visit to Salt River Tubing. The coupon is valid seven days a week, from July 5 through Sept. 2. Since 1996, during summer holiday weekends, 682 tons of trash has been stashed and bagged on the Lower Salt River.
“Our award-winning Bag it for Bucks event encourages public lands stewardship simply by utilizing the free litter bags while floating on the river,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Henri Breault. “We want to applaud these efforts with our Firecracker Bucks as a thank you for helping to conserve natural resources in Tonto National Forest, which will guarantee quality and enjoyable recreational opportunities on the Lower Salt River.”
Salt River Tubing operates in Tonto National Forest under permit of the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service.
The cost is only $17 per person or tube, which includes tube rental, shuttle bus ride and free parking at the Salt River Tubing Terminal Building. As a security deposit, one valid driver’s license is required for every five tubes rented.
The latest tube rental is 2 p.m.—weather and water flow permitting. The last shuttle bus pickup is 6:30 p.m.
Have a great time celebrating the July Fourth weekend by appointing a designated driver before your tubing adventure.
Play it safe—drugs, alcohol and the Salt River do not mix. Just don’t do it.
Salt River Tubing is located in beautiful Tonto National Forest, just seven minutes from Highway 202 East and Power Road Exit 23A.
