Liz was amazing as our tour guide. Great way to enjoy nature with an expert. Great fun! Highly recommend Liz and the tour. Liz was kind and knowledgeable about the local ecology and shared many great insights about the Sonoran dessert.

Great hike but Jay also has great knowledge of the desert which is what we were looking for. Also historical knowledge of the natives and how they interacted with the area.

This 2-hour hike was my first taste of the Sonoran Desert, and what an amazing introduction it was! The morning timing left room for afternoon plans. The hike wasn’t too strenuous but still offered a fantastic glimpse of this unique landscape. Our guide Megan was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and friendly, making the experience even better. The meeting spot (Starbucks) was easy to find, and if you don’t mind a 15-20 min. walk along the roadside, it’s even accessible by public transit. I highly recommend this adventure, especially for the “desert newbies”.
