Salt River Tubing Celebrates Labor Day Weekend with Anniversary Event

written by Lynda Breault August 30, 2015

TAKE PRIDE TUBERS5Salt River Tubing is proud to celebrate 20 years of hosting the award-winning Salt River Heroes = Litter Zero event during Labor Day weekend, Sept. 5 through Sept.7, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Salt River Tubing, the corporate recipient of the Department of Interior’s National Take Pride in America award in 2010, will feature free patriotic leis to the first 1,000 tubers during the holiday weekend.

Join the wave of floaters as they exhibit their pride in Arizona’s recreational paradise by stashing and bagging their picnic trash in litter bags distributed by Salt River Tubing employees. Shooting the rapids on an inner tube, while serving as public lands stewards, creates memorable and enjoyable experiences for everyone.

“Beating the heat while chilling and thrilling on the Salt River’s mountain-stream waters is a fun-filled day in the great outdoors,” said President and Chief Executive Officer of Salt River Tubing Henri Breault. “Enjoy the majestic mountains in the mini Grand Canyon of Tonto National Forest as you float by. Grab a free Tommy Tuber litter bag to store your picnic trash, and help keep Salt River clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy.”

Invited event exhibitors include the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office—Community Affairs Team, Kind Snacks and Monster Beverages. The event is co-sponsored by radio stations KMLE 107.9, JAMZ 101.5 and KKFR 98.3, as well as Salt River Tubing. To date, an astounding 681 tons of trash have been stashed and bagged during the Take Pride in America holiday weekends.

Take Pride in America is a national partnership aiming to inspire a new generation of volunteers to put their love of country to work to improve our national parks, wildlife refuges, public lands, cultural and historic sites, playgrounds and other recreation areas. Salt River Tubing has received four National Take Pride in America awards for the company’s conservation efforts on the Lower Salt River, in Tonto National Forest (1991, 2003, 2006 and 2010).

Salt River Tubing recommends tubers should plan their floating picnic adventures to include plenty of water, sun block and protective footwear. In addition, bring beverages in cans or plastic containers. Children, inexperienced swimmers and non-swimmers should wear life vests while floating.

Ice chests and coolers will be inspected before boarding shuttle buses, and glass containers will be confiscated. The company also cautions floaters to be aware of the fact drugs, alcohol and the Salt River do not mix. Have a great time by responsibly appointing a designated driver before your tubing adventure.

Located in Tonto National Forest, Salt River Tubing operates under permit of the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service.

Operating hours are from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily. The cost of tube rental is $17 per person/tube, which includes inner tube rental and shuttle bus service. The latest tube rental is 2 p.m. daily. As a security deposit, one valid driver’s license is required for every five tubes rented. Children must be 8 years old or older and at least 4 feet tall for tube rental and shuttle bus service.

Salt River Tubing is located in Northeast Mesa, on Power Road, just seven minutes from the East Loop 202, Exit 23A, on Power Road and the Bush Highway.
