5.00We had a great time with Doug Mangum our guide who was wonderful. Our hike was intermediate and we were able summit Brown’s Mountain, which had incredible views of the valley. Doug brought small backpacks and snacks and water for everyone. We enjoyed his engaging teaching style which was personable, warm, and funny as we learned about the various cacti, trees, wildlife, civilizations, and ranching history of the Scottsdale and Phoenix area.
Excellent custom hike.

5.00Had (another) great hike with Matt and MDT out of the TomThumb Trailhead in Scottsdale AZ. Matt picks the right level, distance and elevation for my age and the conditions. Also Matt is a fount of information about the desert he obviously loves and knows so well. His enthusiasm is contagious. Highly recommend this unique perspective in a large metropolis.
