Tubing on the Salt River is a very popular summertime activity for people in the Phoenix area. After all, we don't have a beach!

This Arizona native knows how to go tubing. She's wearing shoes that will protect her feet, a hat and sunglasses (in her hand) for sun protection, she brought a cooler and some friends. rates for tube rentals and transportation shown in this picture were accurate when the picture was taken, in 2003. Those are not the current prices.
