Join Salt River Tubing at the 14th annual Rocking Rodeo Roundup on the Salt River, Saturday, May 18, from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The first 1,000 buckaroos will receive a free cowboy bandana.
Salt River Tubing’s Rocking Rodeo Roundup offers live entertainment, with cowboy line dancing, pony races, steer lassoing and free giveaways. If you are looking for a unique, western adventure in the great outdoors, this popular event embodies the Old West with stagecoach shuttles to and from the Lower Salt River.
Western attire is optional for tubers. However, Salt River Tubing will award free tube rental passes (valid on return visit) for the best cowboy and cowgirl tuber costumes.
Dust off those cowboy hats, tie on a bandana, and pony up to Salt River Tubing, in Northeast Mesa, for the time of your life in the great outdoors of Tonto National Forest.
The More Teens in the Woods event is aligned with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service’s commitment in meeting the challenge of reduced youth involvement in outdoor activities.
Salt River Tubing’s opening day is Saturday, May 11, and will be open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with the latest tube rental at 1 p.m., weather and water flow conditions permitting.
