Beautiful experience with my guide Cha Cha. She was very knowledgable and keyed into my curiosity and my needs as a solo hiker in my age group (older). I will remember this hike for a long time to come! Thank you Cha Cha and Mad Desert Trekking!!

Dialinda aka Cha Cha is the best guide ever. She shared amazing information about the terrain and the cactus around us. Always ensuring we are ok and the pace is good for us. And she brought us up to the top of the trail to take beautiful sunset photos of us ! Simply love the experience ! If anyone ask for a guide recommendation, I’ll say go for Cha Cha !

It was the best experience. Would completely recommend and do it again. Our guide Jarrod was fabulous, seemed like an old friend. It pointed out facts along the way and guided us to the most beautiful sunset

This was an absolutely phenomenal hike. Our guide, Dialinda was very knowledgeable and as well as entertaining. She kept the pace appropriate for our fitness level. She took so many amazing pictures and videos for us. I would absolutely recommend this hike for anybody that’s in the area and I would suggest that they request her to be their guide

Dialinda was such an amazing guide on our phoenix mountain preserve sunset hike! She was so great at telling us all about the landscape and different terrain cacti etc and just really brought so much more to the experience with her awesome personality. The hike was so peaceful and serene. My sister and I will remember this hike forever. Dialinda (aka cha cha) was the BEST!

Our hike was terrific! Henry, our guide, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! He adapted to our pace and encouraged us to put one foot in front of the other, which we did, and we made it! It was a beautiful hike, not the easiest since we are 68 years old, but Henry was very patient with us, and it was worth the trek! The views were stunning! Henry took lots of pictures of us and gave us cool tips for fun photos. The owner, Matt, met us after, and stayed with us until our ride share arrived. A fabulous experience during our stay in Phoenix!
