River Description

Before you go to launch, stop at the little store on river right on Highway 60, and get your permit from the White Mountain Apaches. Fifteen dollars a day covers river use, parking and camping. The Apache rangers and guides WILL bust you if you don't buy the permit. The store is only open during the day, so if you arrive at night, make sure you go out to the store first thing in the morning.

It is against tribal law to run the class IV(V) Apache Falls that is just upstream from the Highway 60 bridge. There is a road up to it on river right--take the dirt road on the downstream of the highway bridge and then look for the underpass. You can legally put in on the rock shelf immediately below the falls, and putting in here avoids the narrow raft-infested launch point that most folks use.

The whitewater is mostly open bouncy class III with long pools separating
