Free bandannas will be distributed to superheroes while supplies last. The cost for the all-day Superheroes Splash Down on the Salt River is $21 plus tax per person, which includes tube rental, shuttle bus service and free parking at Salt River Tubing, according to a release.

“The Superheroes Splash Down experience is always a colossal success. Tubers love transforming themselves into their favorite Superhero and riding the rocking rapids on Salt River. Let us put the ‘Kapow!’ in your tubing adventure as you chill and thrill on the Salt River. Celebrate with Salt River Tubing our 42nd Anniversary on Salt River in Tonto National Forest,” Henri Breault, president/CEO of Salt River Tubing, said in the release.
The super heroes-themed event has been designed to capture the attention of teenage youth and encourage them to enjoy the “great outdoors” on the Lower Salt River in Tonto National Forest, the release states.
