Incredible, fun, ALL levels/ families 1/2 Day Private Guided Hike-Sonoran Desert

Overview

Seeing the Sonoran Desert via your own two feet can be very intimate. How often do you get to stand right next to a Saguaro Cactus? Have you ever tried a taste of Cholla Cactus? Did you know there are so many edible plants in our Sonoran Desert?

Our guides can put together a hiking adventure in the Sonoran Desert to fit your vision. From a casual stroll to strenuous, rugged terrain—we have you covered. Have your dog along? We welcome them to join the hike as long as they are leashed.

Want to do a family hike? We can put together hikes that include education and get those little legs moving. If you plan to hike a half day with us plan for three hours of hiking. Our guides will carry water, snacks, sunscreen and first aid essentials.

Meet your guide at Starbucks, 3165 E. Lincoln Drive, #120, Phoenix, AZ 85016.

We were recently in Scottsdale for a family vacation and we booked a hike of Camelback Mountain with Wild Bunch Desert Guides. Laurel, the owner, was extremely helpful from the initial booking and our guide, Matt, was fantastic. It was our first true desert mountain hike and Matt made the trip incredibly fun, informative, enjoyable and safe. It was a great experience and I would book with with them again in a second and will undoubtedly do so in the future.

My daughter & I had a nice morning hike with our guide Jay. The trail is pretty mild so most people should be OK, but it’s better to wear good shoes- it’s slippery. The weather is very hot so drinking plenty of water is recommend. Luckily, Jay provided a hiking back, many water bottles and free snacks so no need to prepare beforehand. The people in Arizona are very open & friendly - it was a great Mother’s day gift for me! We ended the day with flavored sparkling water by the van and a refreshing cold water towel to cool off! Would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to wander around the Arizona desert in style.

Thank you for the review. When you book with us we do mention shoes with traction are a good idea not shoes like vans or converse chuck Taylors or Nike free. We appreciate you choosing hiking with Wild Bunch Desert Guides. Thank you so much for supporting my small business. Sincerely, Laurel
