• Amazing hidden canyon

  Amazing fauna, lizards and mammals, pictographs, and canyon that is literally like a secret passage way. Thankfully, Henry, the guide, carried enough iced bottled water to make this hike fun and enjoyable in the 92F heat. The trailhead is only 15 minutes from the airport. A great way to spend the last 3 hours before boarding a flight.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our guided hike with Curtis today. He is a terrific guide….knowledgeable, lovable, and a great storyteller. The Hidden Valley is beautiful. We highly recommend this tour with Curtis.

  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

• 5 Star Hike, 5 Star Guide

  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.

  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.

  I had a great time on this loop trail in South Mountain Park! The views were amazing and the scenery was breathtaking. Also, being able to see petroglyphs was very cool. It was a brilliant day hike!
