Arizona whitewater - San Francisco River, San Francisco Mountains, Greenlee County
Greenlee
county,
Alma to Clifton section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The average Arizona whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The wonderful Greenlee County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down San Francisco River have people coming here. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. There are a few other sections in this
river system that can be paddled as well. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so make sure you pack enough food along with your camping gear. The beautiful
San Francisco Mountains scenery is an added bonus. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here.
Briefly about the general area: San Francisco River is frequently a reasonably dried out place; most of the rain falls all through July, and the driest month is April. Summertime highs at San Francisco River generally tend to be in the 90's while overnight lows are generally in the 70's. Highs through the winter are frequently in the 50's with temperatures at San Francisco River dipping down into the
30's through winter nights. A trip to Hickey Spring will fill your soul with great feelings, and if you're here why not explore Bull Canyon. You just can't envision the amount of outdoors cool things the San Francisco Mountains has to offer. It's always great to stop at The Hole.
