I was on a private hike with Adam and it could not have been any better. The weather was great and Adam is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the Valley of Fire. He talked to me about what to expect, what the dangers were, the wildlife, the vegetation and even about him personally, which I found to really help build my trust in him. Adam kept me challenged and stimulated with the landscape and the hike. The photos that he took were just beautiful and it was so great to not have to be the one constantly taking pictures, but rather just to enjoy the hike and enjoy the amazing landscape in the Valley of Fire. If you have ANY desire to explore nature and are able to do this hike, please do it and ask for Adam!! The desert is an amazing and full of life and color.
