The best way to experience the Sonoran Desert! - We had the most amazing time on our family guided hike! Michael was our guide and was absolutely incredible! Our kids (ages 4 and 9) loved the experience just as much as we did. They learned the difference between all the different types of cacti and continued to point them out for the rest of our time in Arizona. Michael was knowledgeable and happily answered all the many questions from our kiddos along the way. This experience was definitely a highlight of our trip, and we fully intend to schedule another guided hike the next time we’re in Arizona! 10/10 recommend!

Fun family guided tour - We went on a 2 hour family hike this morning (2 adults, 1 teen, and 1 preteen). Henry was our guide. He a great job of communicating beforehand and he had backpacks and water for us at the meeting point. He was very nice, knowledgeable of the area, and was great at pointing out things and answering questions along the way . He also took some photos along the way and shared them with me afterwards. The hike was a nice pace and duration for us and we learned a lot. I recommend this hike for families!

Family hike on the Sonoran Desert! - We truly enjoyed the entire experience! Jay was well informed and we enjoyed his stories. We had 4 adults and my daughter, 9yo, she did great! We chose a sunset hike knowing we would hike down shortly after sunset. Jay was well prepared had water and snacks for everyone as well as walking sticks and headlamps for everyone. This was a great hike for beginners. The last 15 mins or so, possibly less, is when we used the headlamps. My daughter thought it was cool and fun. I highly recommend Jay! He made the hike fun, informative and he took lots of pictures for us.

Fantastic Thanksgiving Hike - Matt and his crew - Mike, Curtis and Lisa gave our group of 18 the experience of a lifetime. They managed the varying capabilities of our group expertly and we had a fantastic time. We'll make this a habit when in the Phoenix area.
