Wonderful - This was my first time hiking and I had a wonderful hike with Henry in May 2024. He did a great job! I would highly recommend him as your hiking guide.

Amazon hiking tour - I had sundown hiking tour. It was an amazing 2 hour hiking trip. Liz is a wonderful tour guide. She is knowledgable and cares about guests. I will definitely go tours with them again next time in Phoenix.

Don’t miss opportunity to see this sunset! - Cooper was my guide through the Sonora desert for a sunset hike. Here on a business trip, I really only had one day to make the most of sightseeing in the Phoenix area. I’m really glad I chose this tour. Cooper was extremely knowledgeable about the area, its history, and every type of plant we passed, and every type of animal we did, or possibly could have come across. Luckily, we saw way more plants than critters! If you are in decent physical shape, the hike will get you a little bit winded, but it is 100% doable. Don’t be afraid to try it. We made small stops along the way to look at specific plants, or just take in the amazing views. 360° panoramic views of the Sonora dessert and surroundings were breathtaking. I think I said “wow” like a million times. Booking the trip was easy, and communication before hand gave me all the information I need to know to plan for the hike. My trip ended up being a small group, and by small, it was just me, but I felt extremely comfortable and safe the entire time, and Cooper made it a really enjoyable experience.

Awesome Sunset Hike - We had such a great hike with Cooper. He had a lot of knowledge about plant and animal life in the area. He brought water, snacks, sunscreen. The hike itself was not too tough, yet not too easy. And, of course the sunset was beautiful.

Perfect “Easier” Hike for Vacationers - Wonderful hike with Jay for us amateur out of towners! I researched a lot of Phoenix area hikes and this was the right one! Perfect if you want a shorter hike with views of the city and nature. Jay was so knowledgeable of history and plants, we loved learning all about it! He brought water, snacks, poles, and head lamps, added some Liquid IV to my water when I got lightheaded. Made sure we were safe on the hike and waiting for our Uber after. Jay is also an expert photographer, he captured lots of great pics of us. We accidentally left our water bottles in his pack and Jay went above and beyond to get them back to us. We’d love to go on another hike with Mad Desert Trekking next time we’re here.

Standout experience - Truly a standout experience. The scenery and sunset were beautiful. Our guide Jay made it really special, super nice guy, very prepared and very knowledgeable! And found the perfect balance of sharing his knowledge and managing the experience. Highly recommend!!

Good hike with an awesome guide! - The hike was nice and on a trail that was not busy with other tourists. Liz the guide was very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this experience and you will be lucky if you have Liz as a guide.

Gorgeous hike up to swoon worthy sunset! - What an awesome experience! Being in town for a conference we wanted to also enjoy the spectacular scenery, but where to go? Enter Mad Desert Trekking! Liz was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, super kind, and set a pace we could manage without making a big deal about me stopping every few feet to take photos, even taking some of my friend and I. No need for a selfie, whaaat?!? Wonderful tour and worth every penny!

Sunset Hike - We had an incredible Sunset hike! Our guide, Liz, was friendly and informative! She made the hike perfect for our family. We took breaks when we needed and still made it to the top of the mountain for the perfect family photo as the sunset behind the mountains. We highly recommend this to anybody looking for an adventure. Ask for Liz when you make your reservations!!

Henry is the best - Henry is the man! My wife and I did his guided sunrise hike and had the best time. He was so knowledgeable of the plant life and the history of the area. He was very nice and was great about going at our pace. We highly recommend.
