When it comes to travel, wanderlust takes the better of all of us as it never wants us to be stationary. Fulfilling all the travel wishes can take a hefty toll on the pocket so it is always a good idea to go for cheaper travelling alternatives. The best way to go about a budget-friendly vacation is by booking and planning ahead. Last minute deals are immensely expensive because of the high demands so it is always advised to explore all the options before the venture begins. In the process of pre-planning, one may easily come across countless opportunities that were being brushed away at first or never even considered. Booking and planning ahead may lead to a lot of fun and exciting new adventures as well, something one must never shy away from.

When thinking of booking an epic whitewater rafting adventure, one doesn't normally think of going to Arizona. Yet the Salt River, as it meanders through Tonto National Forest near Globe, AZ, is one of the premier white water rafting destinations in the western U.S. In Spring, winter runoff from nearby snow melt from the White Mountains transforms the normally tranquil river into a raging Class III-IV whitewater rafting adventure.
