Curtis was a great tour guide! He was super insightful and knew the trail like the back of his hand. I felt extremely safe and comfortable. The sunrise hike was breathtaking and something I will never forget from my AZ experience. I would definitely book this again

Booking and meet-up was super easy. Guide (Michael Albrough) was responsive before and after the hike, including sending photos of our hike afterwards. Private hike was totally worth it, allowing me to go at my pace and choose our path at different points along the trail. Michael added a ton of details about the flora and fauna of the South Mountain Preserve, making the almost 4-hour hike educational, too, which was excellent. I would book with Mad Desert Hiking again. I would recommend Michael as a guide to others, as well, because he was prepared, flexible, and had a super attitude from start to finish.

That's awesome to hear your hiking adventure with your guide Michael was a five-star experience. The Incredible Hidden Valley Petroglyph Guided Hiking Adventure at South Mountain, Phoenix, Arizona, is one of the more adventurous excursions available. It's great to hear our guides — Michael in this case — are making positive impacts on our guests. We welcome you to join us on another hiking adventure in the Sonoran Desert! — Matt Kalina | Owner | Mad Desert Trekking | Phoenix, AZ | Intense Human-Powered Sonoran Desert Adventures 🌄🦎☀️🌵

My daughter and I did this amazing hike, and I was so grateful for our guide, Henry, who was so knowledgeable and friendly. He made the experience exceptional and I can't imagine trying to do this on our own. He felt like a long-time friend by the time we finished. He was very accommodating to our photography (looking for birds and wildlife) and hiking abilities (I'm 68). It was an experience i will always treasure.
