Hike up the Sonoran desert - Our tour guide Cooper was amazing. He gave us all the information about the different fauna of the desert. My son thoroughly enjoyed his hike and was very happy that Cooper took us to different peaks. The tour provided us with water and snacks for her hike which was an added bonus because we did not have to carry it. Overall and enjoyable experience.
