Additional Information
Experiencing the Sonoran Desert on foot provides a close encounter with its environment. How regularly do you come across a Saguaro Cactus up close? Have you sampled the Cholla Cactus before? Were you aware of the various plants in our Sonoran Desert that are edible?
Our walk leaders can customize a hike to match your expectation. Be it a leisurely walk or a challenging trek across rough landscapes, we’ve got it all. Expect about 90 minutes of hiking. If you have a pet dog, they are welcome to accompany you on a leash.
Considering a family hike? We can curate walks that are both educational and can keep those tiny feet engaged. Our leaders will bring water, snacks, sunscreen and first aid provisions along.
You can meet your guide at Starbucks, 3165 E. Lincoln Drive, #120, Phoenix, AZ 85016.

Camelback Mountain hike - We took a private group guided hike up and over Camelback Mountain. Laurel, the business owner, kept us safe, all while making it so much fun! This is the best adventure company, and would highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

Hike for all ages. - Had a great time with Henry during our guided hike.
We haven't been out hiking in years, but Henry let us set the pace and stop when needed.
The hike was doable for some close to 60 year's old.
He gave us great info about the area & terrain.
We just had great conversation.

Gorgeous views, super friendly and helpful staff. I strongly recommend this company. - We had a group of 14 co-workers being guided by Laurel’s team. We had not only a lot of fun, but we took gorgeous pictures and videos of the experience. Laurel and team took the time to educate us about the Sonora dessert flora.
I strongly recommend this company. Excellent experience and a great value for your money.

The Best Part of Our Trip to Scottsdale! - My friend and I did a sunset hike with Don at Wild Bunch Desert Guides, and it was the highlight of our trip! Don is funny and highly knowledgeable, so in addition to enjoying the amazing views and scenery, he also gave us lots of information about the animals and plants we saw. I highly recommend using them the next time you’re in Phoenix/Scottsdale!

Great solo hike! - Laurel (owner) was great getting me scheduled during a busy weekend. I did a solo sunrise hike with Matt and it was fantastic. He was prompt, informative, more than well-prepared, energetic and professional.
Thanks for a great hiking experience!

First time hikers - I knew when I visited Phoenix that I wanted to go hiking but as a first timer I also knew I wasn’t going without a guide. I chose this company because of the great reviews that were left so I thought I would add in to them. Joe was a wonderful guide for my hike with my friends! He was very informative about the desert and made sure we were staying safe and hydrated. I would definitely recommend him and this company to anyone looking to hike wether experienced or not!
