Last night's emergency fill-in diary (thanks, brillig!) reminded me of tubing down the Salt River a few years ago. This was a fun, and yet relaxing activity shared by a group of us.
To get there, we had to drive from Tucson. As I recall, it took about two hours to get to Point 1, where the tubes go into the river. We decided to go all the way to Point 5, so it took almost 5 hours to do. Fortunately, we brought wide-brimmed hats and plenty of sunscreen!
