About the Salida Town Run
The Salida Town Run is the gentlest water we raft and one of the prettiest. It starts north of town, drifts through a wildlife preserve and finishes with the waves of the river park in downtown Salida. It's our go-to for families with young kids and anyone who wants scenery over splash.
