Our Mission

Our guided hikes play a tremendous role in reducing mountain accidents and rescues. We sell safety, education for your enjoyment, and great out-doors fun for everyone, all combined in one reservation. You’ll remember your time with us fondly with a free souvenir cap or bandanna. You'll return home with a lifetime memories and knowledge that you helped maintain earth’s precious resource after learning about the desert. You can help preserve the land by electing to forgo souvenirs and have us donate $5 per paying guest to a mountain/trail preservation non-profit organization.

We are so confident that you will have a great time that we offer a satisfaction guarantee. (See our Reservations page for details.)

Experience the beauty and excitement of hiking in the Sonoran Desert with an expert, First Aid & CPR certified trail guide! Join us for a really great and worry free time! We are here to ensure that you are prepared, safe, and have the most rewarding, fun filled experience possible. To make your day easier, transportation service can be provided to/from the trails from the majority of major hotels and resorts.* Not only will you go hiking and get in some exercise, you’ll become familiar with and able to identify which local flora and fauna may be used for food and medicine, and how ancient petroglyphs originated. Try this: “what is the name of the cactus that only grows in the Sonoran Desert?” Hint: our favorite phrase is: “Sahuaro you today?” Depending on the specific trail, season and time of day, we may see some of our native wildlife in their natural habitat and the brilliance of colorful wildflowers in bloom (in spring).

Year-round hikes leave daily (with limited times during summer). Sunrise, Sunset and our new Moonlit hikes & Photo Lesson guided hikes are awesome. Some are short; some are long. Others are even longer.
