Had a wonderful early morning hike with Lizzy to Tom’s Thumb. She was the perfect guide, with easy conversation, vast knowledge and a knack for pictures. Beautiful views and a great workout!

This was a very good trip. Lots of options while we were there. Hiking in the dessert is a must if you are active and enjoy the out of doors. The dessert is simply beautiful and unique! In its own way! In January we hit a cool spell and we actually wore jackets in the middle of the afternoon. But so much more to do - the Grand Canyon, Sedona, the Botanical Garden, the Museum of the West, The Music Museum, Taliesin, Contemporary Art were all fabulous. And the food . . . wonderful. And Old Town was a destination in itself.

We had a fun and memorable hiking tour led by Curtis! We kept a great healthy pace and he shared many interesting facts about the landscape and cool Arizona history all with genuine hospitality. We had a blast! Thank so much! Totally recommend getting a tour by Curtis!

I'm a 74 year old Grandmother and I was nervous as my hiking and desert experience was nil prior to - but what a lovely memory Matt Kalina helped me create in the Sonoran Desert this week! I learned so much - mountains - trails - plants - animals - views - all absolutely wonderful. Matt designed my two hour hike just for me and allowed breaks and rests along the way. Thank you again so much for your consideration - time and fantastic energy. It was indeed great being with you!

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the incredible experience my best friend and I had today while hiking Tom’s Thumb trail with Liz, our tour guide. Not only was she highly knowledgeable about the trail and its surroundings, but she was also incredibly kind, sweet, and encouraging throughout the entire hike. As someone who isn’t an avid hiker, I deeply appreciated Liz’s patience and positivity. She cheered me on every step of the way, turning what could have been a challenging experience into an uplifting and enjoyable adventure. Her genuine enthusiasm and thoughtful support made all the difference, helping me and my BFF get through it together. Thank you, Liz, for creating such a memorable experience for us! You truly went above and beyond, and we’ll always remember this day because of you. You’re absolutely top-notch!
