My husband and I went on a hike with Ryan at 0530 to beat the heat. We had an awesome time learning about the area and other excursions they offer. We pushed ourselves and made it to the top of Brown Sunmit! Ryan was very accommodating to me frequently stopping to take pictures lol

I had never been to Arizona before so wanted to experience a hike with a professional guide. Upon booking, Matt had reached out to me the week of to confirm and provide all details of what to expect. He also went above and beyond, providing me a massive list of suggestions / recommendations for things to do in the area while I was in Arizona including restaurants, bars, other activities. The actual tour, my friend and I had a wonderful experience with Jennifer as our guide. She was knowledgeable and provided fun facts along the hike. She went at a great pace and was so fun to hike with! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun / active thing to do with experienced guides.
