Amazing Views and a fantastic guide! - Paul was absolutely amazing! He made sure we had everything we needed to be prepared for the hike, navigate the trails, and checked on us regularly, all while sharing all his knowledge about the trails. We learned so much and had the best time! I will definitely be reaching out to him again next time I’m back in Scottsdale. The trails were stunning! He was also great to talk to and gave us great recommendations of things to do around the area.

Wonderful Hike - had a hike with Paul today and it was wonderful! Paul is a wealth of knowledge on the area and the ecosystem. It was an absolute pleasure hiking with him. I felt extremely safe and he would make sure you step to the side to avoid bikers. He also checked for snakes when I wanted pictures in certain areas. Thank you Paul!

Perfect relaxed hike. - Paul led us on a great hike on the Pima Dynamite trailhead. He went at our pace, made sure we had enought to drink and energy to keep going. Learned a lot about the desert, various cacti, and the local wildlife. Paul gave us a lot of chances to take shorter paths if we were no up to continue. We ended up going the entire way and even though we were both exhausted when we made it back, we were glad we continued and got to see the crested saguaro cactus.
