PHOENIX — Salt River Tubing announced they are reopening Saturday for tubing recreation on the Salt River outside of Mesa.
The Salt River Tubing opening was delayed due to coronavirus closures. With the governor lifting restrictions on businesses starting Saturday, many businesses are reopening.
Salt River Tubing will hand out free bandanas. It will be required to wear bandanas or face coverings while checking out tubes and on shuttle buses.
A replacement bandana will cost $5.
Employees will also be required to wear face coverings and will receive daily temperature checks.
Shuttle buses will be cleaned every 24 hours, which will also be downsized.
These procedures will be in place until "restrictions regarding social distancing have been lessened or terminated," the company said in a Facebook post on Thursday.
People can rent tubes and float down the Salt River, which winds through the Tonto National Forest.
Tube rental, shuttle bus service and parking are available for $19. You can bring your own tube and ride the shuttle for $16.
Tube rental starts at 9 a.m. Saturday.
There are rules for children's participation and glass containers are prohibited.
It is Salt River Tubing's fortieth anniversary of operation.
